As I said before all one has to do is to routinely notice the bank, pitch and thrust the automation uses at higher levels and when you loose the automation just do the same yourself.
100%: oh that todays training emphasised such basics and allowed pilots to practice, attain & maintain these basic skills. It really is KISS, but there are too many higher influences that are acting against this basic principle. Those of us at the sharp end of TQ training, and those at the sharp end of Line Training are screaming for changes, but deaf ears abound. In many other instances on here there has been the cry that "until a smoking hole occurs nothing will happen". In recent years there have been too many smoking holes caused by serviceable a/c. What has been the reaction? Sadly too little. It is not yet too late. Who is holding their breath?
