glad to see we agree on the flight director business.
One thing I did like to do, when I was the PNF, I would set the FD to pitch for level flight cruise. That way, if the fecal matter hit the oscillating ventilator, I would have something to aim for.
The FD was required by company procedure for takeoff and by FAR for low vis landing...so I used it...the single cue is much better than the two cue/cross hair in my mind.
But if they threw it all out of the plane, I was still good to go in my mind. I looked "through" it too ...especially the two cue cross hair.
