Call me old fashioned. " You're old fashioned Ken!".but......

I like to hand fly the a/c when it is near the ground.

That way, I know pretty much exactly what is going on. The a/c has all sorts of ways to protect me when I hand fly, so all I got to do is follow the FD, or if I can see, proceed to land and all will be well.

Of course, the AP could prolly do it better, but hey, at least I know. I KNOW. What is happening

Sometimes we got to to an autoland. Gives me the willies!

I'm no perfect pilot. But.......

I'm always happiest when poling the 'plane.
