g'day JT. all good stuff,as I would expect from you but.... .I shall assume the question was posed by an inexperienced pilot therefore I offer the following:. .the engine failure hands and feet actions should be performed smoothly and together in co-ordinated fashion.it probably does not help to try and work out which way the hands and feet are going to go before the event.. .the Royal Air Force taught me,many years ago,that jet aeroplanes like the speed to be controlled with PITCH and the rate of descent with thrust.I have been doing/teaching that all my flying life and it has never let me down.just because the jet will work (sort of) the other way round does not make a case for adopting that very dodgy technique. in very poorly flown approaches, the use of pitch instead of thrust to rectify a glideslope error will result in disaster. ditto for the speed case.. .but you knew that already. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />
