I see last year you wrote this:
No, fly it like it is supposed to be flown. We fly ours with the AT in, as we did on another type, as the book says (or allows). I haven't flown the 737 but apparently the pitch-power coupling gets ugly with AT in when hand-flying. That doesn't necessarily apply to other types. On my type, hand-flying with the AT engaged is terrific.
Maybe that was the problem in DXB? Because that's exactly what they were doing!

You still flying manually with auto thrust in??

Is that what you regard as "stick and rudder"? "Manual flying skills"?

Really?

I see you can't point me in the direction of any incident attributable to 'our' procedures. Thanks for that vote of confidence!

Try Wikipedia, "accidents and incidents involving runway overruns" there are at least 30 incidents there, none of which involve 'my' operator!

Enjoy!

There's a lot of folks here who are full of sh1t!
