I recall the DC-8 training flight at MSY back in 1967 or so during a "simulated" two engine approach. What...

@ Flyboy

Simple, we duplicated the AT function that Bloggs, et al describe for cruise. But we did it by using the available steam gauges. So an AT would have been nice on our longer missions. ...

C'mon, Bloggs

I didn't want to hear that, LW.

Yeah, Desert, guess we were used to a higher AoA than the big jets. Our Viper used about 13 degrees AoA, so we were close to the area of reverse command WRT power.
