Oh boy, this thread is gonna give all those insufferable braggarts who go on and on about how great their hand flying is. Face it, the world has changed! Aviation philosophy has changed. There is certainly a place for hand flying...where no PRNAV procedures required and with planes without the modern automation, or bush flying.
Wow, bro.
That's sort of like saying there "is a place in basketball for a lay-up" or a place in swimming where you "hold your breath."
Do I have it right that you DON'T advocate training for basic handling skills.
LMK what airline you work for, so I can avoid them.
Steve - most concise and informative, thank you very much.
Cheers!
