The FCS80 in the Metro does pretty well. So does the Brasilia. I just think I'm smoother at it.C'moooon, what's wrong with proposing down a glide slope?

Second this. Do you fly the Airbus too?On at 100' and off at 500' on the way down...
250 to the marker! I do not think ill ever get the chance to fly such a fun airplane ever again. Enjoy the time you have on that airplane.Only had a couple flights in the SAAB, but I have flow up to 10k. Lately I have been leaving it on until 500-1000' while I learn operations.

Geez.... do you guys realize how nice fifi is to handfly? AP, FD, AT off... have some fun!
You're not paid to have fun. You're paid to move that airplane from A to B safely, efficiently, and comfortably.
I'm also paid to have a mastery of the aircraft in all regimes of automation or lack thereof. You can't have a mastery of something you don't practice. And if you're saying that you cannot handfly and be safe, you're highly lacking as a pilot.
Yeah, the baby busSecond this. Do you fly the Airbus too?
ThatIf you're any good at hand flying, you won't be jostling people around. Just sayin....
It is a fun airplane. The A model flies nicely, but does not perform well. I flew the B model for the first time to day. It is nice.250 to the marker! I do not think ill ever get the chance to fly such a fun airplane ever again. Enjoy the time you have on that airplane.
For the love of God WHY?!?I'll bet you can't tell if the auto-pilot is ever turned on and off. I used to hand fly all the short legs in and out of DTW. Last 200 flight I did I hand flew from YYZ to DTW. It felt great, and no one in the back got sick, because it was done well.
For the love of God WHY?!?
I had to sit through a few F/Os and CAs who did that. The PNF workload goes through the roof and no matter how "smooth" you think you are, I guarantee you are not. Plus hand flying burns more fuel, something like 2% more.
