Yeah, Desert, guess we were used to a higher AoA than the big jets. Our Viper used about 13 degrees AoA, so we were close to the area of reverse command WRT power.
Of course, we trimmed like crazy to get to and then hold the AoA, then began using the throttle for precise touchdown point and rate of descent.
I still have trouble with all the throttle modes and such due to "connections" with the other HAL - the autopilot. And that's where my questions come from, as I only flew one jet with an Otto-coupled ILS mode and we had to use the throttle manually. And you better have had the sucker trimmed for best approach speed/AoA before "coupling". Figure 180 knots IAS basic, then more for gas/loadout.
It also looks like there's a plethora of implementations depending on what heavy you're flying.
