I fully agree. We have all the automatics to make flying easier and safer, so we should use the automatics - as long as they work fine -
Those automatics cost a lot of money. why not use them ? we should be lucky to have the automatics and my first aim is to work with the automatics, to use them !!!
if some superpilots want to do handflying in excess, take a 152 and fly around. passengers in the back dont pay the fare for the fun of the handflying superpilots, but to get from a to b in a safe and stressless way
I know very well why all this superpilots prefer "handflying
" "raw data
".
its because they are unable to work with the automatics, they cannot use it, because they dont have any clue about the automatics, therefore.....see above.
no longer we are "little Lindberghs", but AircraftSystemManager. We have to manage the automatics of an aircraft. thats what we are paid for.
in no case we are paid for flying rawdata SID or STAR, handfly from TOD to LDG, etc
this is just NON-Airmanship, and a crappy behaviour
