I did not know it was on the autopilot all the way! It was!, until it reached 108 Kts! Obviously the crew was never trained too utilize the Aux. Power available in the leading edge form of the wing in a dive attitude! Why is everyone flying around on the dumb auto pilot? Where is the control feel! First indicaton of power reduction, nose over into required dive attitude to maintain flying speed, increase dive angle to increase system kinetic energy. Over the fence, flare into a level flight attitude (in ground effect) hold level flight attitude while the aircraft disipates excess kinetic energy and settles into ground contact. Get back to your basic flying skills, dont trust a dumb auto-pilot that will lead you right down to a critical108kts airspeed!
