[quote=Vessbot;9816051]That doesn't make any sense. I asked when you need the QRH. (Bizarre that that would even come up when the topic is basic fight control on a normal day.) The answer to that can't be in the QRH, because you'd need to already be looking in the QRH in the first place! So what would prompt you to do
that?
Is it? The topic is pitch and power settings in the QRH. Don't you know when you'd refer to them?
Yes. On my airplane, the FD in this case commands a pitch down to a few hundred FPM, sometimes down to completely level flight. A bit overboard to actually do that, don't you think?
Not really. I take it you disconnect the AP every time you need to accelerate to avoid it then?
Yes, it is difficult, because you keep changing your story; it's especially difficult to follow with your brusque one-word fob-off replies. This is the first time in 3 pages you're making what looks like an honest attempt at actually engaging.
I do not keep changing anything chum.
For a long time you kept banging on about pitch tables in the QRH, but got evasive when asked when they would come into play. Now, it seems that they don't come into play after all.
You can look in your own QRH to find out when you'd use them. I'm not going to spoon feed you.
Our exchange started when I said "... Then what other option is there but to TLAR it first, and then fine-tune based on the performance instruments?" To which you flatly said "no," but now it seems like is what you're also describing.
No, you said every time you need to change pitch would I refer to the QRH. The answer is still no.
