Hello,

thank you for answers. I didn't meant any offence to anyone.

To be honest I do not know much about bigger planes. But with ATR it should not be big deal to fly raw data, just switching FD off, disconnecting AP and for example leaving ALT SEL by just pushing the yoke forward, when starting descent is required. (and yes watching AFCS screen how/if ALT SEL mode changes) Or is it forbidden today to do such thing?

The simulator thing, well that is really tricky. I have experience with few different ATR FFS and at least regarding AFCS and GNSS there are discrepancies in theirs functions. Especially in these, which are not described in documentation exactly (like the one I am asking). Anyway it will be probably last call to test it in simulator, even if this will be only copy of copy.

Anyway than you for help.
