shock horror, I flew an ILS today to minima with absolutely no autopilot modes engaged whatsoever - goodness me what was I thinking, hand-flying is just so tricky!
Instead, I selected an attitude, trimmed the aircraft and chose a power setting that would give me the required RoD - somehow we stayed within half a division of localiser and glidepath all the way down.....must have been luck I suppose
Wow, what a man you are! I wish I could be like you, instead I am just a button pushing weedy geek.
Or to put it another way, Yawn.
Anyway, what this thread shows is that the old adage is true - you can ask 5 pilots the correct way to do something, and get 6 different answers.
There are a wide range of views here on how to fix the world of helicopters, the best way to operate etc, with a lot of confliction. So how is the correct strategy, out of all the crowd, to be determined? There would only be one thing worse than the present situation, and that would be to get everyone doing things the same, wrong way.
