GREAT VIDEO....WE SHOULD ALL WATCH IT

In CX we do exactly the opposite what this video recommends for WINDSHEAR AND LOW LEVEL ENGINE FAILURE. We are encouraged to engage the autopilot at low level instead of hand flying.

The other issue that concerns me is the Handling sim that was introduced to improve our handling skills {DUH} is being hijacked to cover niff naff such as cargo fires, low temp altimetry, and other minor topics that can all be covered in regulatory items in PC/RT sessions . I would suggest we would be better off practising hand flying visual approaches and other back to basic skills in the Handling session.
