Do you see how "Two Pilots-One Stick" is a recipe for disaster? Take your own, only. It is not an instruction flight. "What's he Doing?" Is as Lethal as "What's it doing?"

This is not......"Francois, follow me through...."

3hl....

Again, in defense of IMC, feel is not necessarily desirable. It would seem, in a very real way, that PF may have allowed his own kinesthetics to drive his decisions? And to the contribution of LOC? Can we entertain a new descriptive? "Loss and MAINTENANCE of LOSS of control" ? Feedback is in some way an enemy of Instrument flight? If there is a total breakdown of systerms, well, ok, but that isn't happeneing here? If, in an emergency, a pilot has ONLY feel, well, ok, but otherwise there is a definite lack of engineered blend of seat of pants/FCS "Co-Operation"? More's the Pity? Will there need be hardwired ButtCheeks?
