Getting my initial IOE check out with a check airman out of San Jose, Costa Rica in a 757 transitioning from a 727 he had the FD all screwed up showing a left diving turn and I did a right climbing turn following the SID using raw data.
I didn't care because I did not rely on automation. He finally caught up so we were on the same page. We had to maintain 250 knots to 13,000 and he set in normal climb out of 10 so ignored that too.
Flying dinosaur aircraft keeps you in the loop so you don't blindlly follow automation. I am sorry those wonderful old 727's went away.
