Putting SOP and AFM things to one side, what disturbs me is that the 737 Classic is one of the easiest aircraft to land and ought not to require any magic formula.
Yes, but here, as in anything up to half of Tech Log nowadays, the burning question is does that apply for the 737CL add-on to Microsoft Flight Simulator? PMDG has a lot to answer for.
I think it's a bit of a perversion that nerds sit at home and become 'experts' at flying airliners. I would go so far as to say it positively freaks me out and strikes me as autistic behaviour. Go out and meet girls chaps! Go dancing instead, and get a life. Becoming a total expert like that is not good for you- you're not living a life! This is a teenager who is doing himself no favours and it will get himself no useful skill, but I suppose if the longed for disaster happens and the 2 Ryanair pilots collapse with low blood sugar, then our hero will be able to step in!
