Basic attitude flying. Pride of manual flying. You know what? Having had a bellyful of manual flying - I would have thought that the reluctant slide into the 21st century would have been a breath of fresh air for you guys.
the whole basis of the magenta baby is to fly on automatics.
If you want to go manual then fly a Tiger Moth - jeez!
Look, either you can fly or not. If you can`t then you would not have got this far.
So lets assume you can - a safe assumption.
So now you have a choice - you want to pull it around the sky manually, or do you want to fly around all day on automatics?
Well, it depends if you want to work for a living, still or if you want to take it easy and let the higher levels of your brain take in an manage the big picture - knowing all the time, that, when necessary or appropriate, you can always, fly manually or drop down several levels of automation - until you are in fact flying manually.
Manual flying is a choice, as is flying the automatics and yes, the magenta - it is not a crime to fly the automatics, it is not bad, it is not a cancer, it is modern technology.
You want to fly the buttons then fly the buttons, its fun, just don`t rely on them as you would rely on yourself.
Its just for safety to fly manually. If you want to fly manually for fun or because it is supremely better than automatics at all times in the flying . . .flight then go fly a C150.FFS!
The divine aura of manual flying compared to the disdain of automatic flying is getting - in this time of 2014 - tedious!
