You should look for and notice the THS trim wheel movement during every flight. That and the speed trend arrow tell you what is going on with your aircraft.

Automation is a fact of airline flying in today's busy airspaces. Going back to less or no automation is simply not going to happen. Pilots must only use the appropriate level of automation for the...

@ CVividasku; irrelevant. The "pilots" of AF447 caused the aircraft to crash - obviously not deliberately - RIP.

Hold full back-stick, or yoke in any aircraft, and it will stall. Keep holding full...

I strongly believe that there should be a stick shaker on every aircraft.

No matter how clever a FBW system might be, the haptic (touch and feel) feedback of a shaking stick/yoke and the...

Not necessarily. At night and if the cockpit is dark, it is not so easy to see - especially if the tray table is out. Also, if you are expecting a pilot not to hold full back-stick, (why would he?),...

The idea of a computer Status page might be useful, but could risk adding further confusion when basic flying skills were all that were needed.

I echo Lonewolf and I did thank my SIM TRE and Captain that day. The scenario was the Captain's idea - he is a TRE as well. I am not the only line pilot to have become trapped by this - he said that...

Having flown a number of different piston, turbo props and jets in my time, I am a big fan of the Airbus FBW philosophy. It does not react as a conventional aircraft does, but I have personally...
