the metros I flew didn't have a flight director...all raw data...though we thought we were really pretty cool having a HSI.

If you look at the photo...there are two red knobs (for feathering prop), to the left of the red knobs there is a red and white hatchmark square. within that square is a switch which transfers horizontal trim from pilot to copilot.

it is that switch that I would like to know the position ! that would tell us who was flying the plane.

bio botal...I haven't heard the expression ''dirty dive'' in a long time! We usually say: duck the glideslope..

again I ask...what position were the flaps????


IF you fly raw data all the time and do it frequently you can get quite good at it...

I've flow the metro into fog bound airports, raw data and gotten in, while very well equipped 737's ended up going around. We both had the same minimums that particular day. And I didn't cheat!!!!
