I think you are being sincere and I say , you are welcome.
It may seem odd, but straight and level flying, like in cruise flight, is actually many, very tiny turns, just like when you are driving your car and trying to stay in the lane. Between the lane lines.
One regulation, by way of example, says we are never to get below the glideslope when coming in to land. The regulation goes on to expressly say : except for normal bracketing maneuvers. (that means sort of hunting for the glideslope by searching up and down for the exact center)
We sort of hunt for the exact reverse thrust if it comes in unevenly, and by doing that we gain the "TOUCH" I've been trying to convey.
Feel free to ask any flying questions you like.
