Now it is heresy to know the proper pitch and power for every flight regime! In my prior plane (Lockheed, Mr 411A), I could arrive after a NAT crossing and state exactly what power setting and pitch angle to be flown, in advance, throughout the descent and landing to Frankfurt-Main. Now, I try, but the temptation is to think it a frivolous exercise in being an old pilot.
