On my first ever line flight on B737 EFIS,
The Line- trainer told me to fly raw data, full rose ( so no map) to cruising level, and then again disconnect all at TOD to touchdown...
It made me getting a feeling for the aircraft very easily,and only once comfortable with the BASIC of the aircraft should you progress to autoflight modes and its tricks and pittfalls.
I fly raw data as much as possible when fatigue, traffic and weather allows me to, and urge my FO's to do the same.
Ps. Sabena has always been recognised as a reference in Safety and Crew proficiency
isnt't it Sabenaboy
Now for Sobelair...These were the cowboys
