the scan rate is what we forget, not how to fly.

That is why I want to take this oportunity to advocate for the FPED (Flight Path Envelope Director)

It is like using the FD, with all its modes, but the FD bars are "armed", so when you deviate from the target speed, v/S, track, etc... by a given amount, the FD bars come and you are prompted to follow them.

Using this would keep us as safe as flying with FD and we would have good flying skills

Any engineer out there, put my name on the patent along with yours, please
