what is the real hand-flying difference between flying a smaller jet (B737) and a heavy (B747).
I went from 747 to 737 - and I found I had to actually
work when hand flying esp in an engine out case!
The 747 was a bloody dream to hand-fly at any time, in any
kind of weather in any contingency.
I once went from 320 to 330 briefly and found it a doddle -
its just a big heavy 320 handling wise.
