It's not the act of clicking the AT's off before touchdown as when you clik them off.....10' or 1,000'?
...so how do you handle that if your cliking the AT's off as you descend through say 50'?
Pardon my ignorance (not rated on the MD11) but why on earth would anyone want to
click off the A/T just before or during the flare at 50' to 10'? To manually override the A/T (if not behaving as desired) I can understand, but why even bother switching it off?
