Quote: "If you fly them by hand, in the 737 you have to pull to raise the nose. So you have in the 320. In both you have to push to lower de nose. And so on. The only difference is in the autotrim (which makes it easier) and the lack of feel. You still have to decide if you need to pitch up or down." unquote
You think it is any different in the larger B777?
The only difference is the lack of stretches in longhaul operations.
However, I find that doing manual climbouts and approaches at every opportunity keeps my flying skill up to date, even in long haul.
