hand flying
I'm just a simple PPL (1973) and came across this discussion.
I am a dental/oral surgeon who must totally rely upon training/knowledge/experience/and hand(digital?) skills to be successful.
My airborne exploits are really little different (RV6) enjoy!!
However on a recent Airbus flight we had a medical emergency which needed a "soon" landing at Munchen. The plane was expertly flown to a smooth landing - rapid loss of height and 30* bank.
The pilot (like me) had a head of grey hair.
Question: was this hand flown (as I suspect) or a/p ?
