Re rotodome turbulance during AAR - can't remember any prob with this - and I did demo the limits a few times.

Re Dutch Roll - unlike the Nimrod it wasn't a prob on the Sentry as it was very stable at altidude - therefore not much emphasis in trg.

I thought the the Vulcan MFS ,although a bit quirky, was pretty intuitive and easy to use.
Surprised that
I. Noone else out there has any 'issues' with the Sky Pointer?
2. Noone has come out with any 'top tips' - on any aircraft - which might assist students - who might have difficulties converting to type ?

1. First 23 years of aviation with ground pointers - found it very intuitive. Last 17 with Mr Boeing - still find sky pointer difficult!
2. Does Sentry have a big pitch/power couple? This catches a lot of people out when starting out on 757/767.
