Capn Bloggs I don't see why some people make it so difficult to fly a glide slope. You and I know power can climb or increase speed, attitude change can change climb or descent or change speed.
The AP uses power for speed and attitude for glide slope. They work together. To me the AP way works easiest so you don't have to do as much. If these three guys had done either we wouldn't have this discussion now. Power to go up works best before pitch in their case but not 1.5 seconds before the rocks especially in stick shaker and how did they get 30 knots slow? I thought 5 knots slow was a mandatory call out. A clear day on a simple visual and 3 pilots couldn't do it including a check airman. It would never happen on my airline, why them?
