We were, at one time, supposed to have a constant torque climb feature, but nope.

Boeing vs airbus will come after "how many days off I get".

I'm teaching a dollar ride in the sim tomorrow. Out of respect for @ATN_Pilot's safety and professionalism opinions, I will be omitting all the raw data handflying events from the script.

I hand flew an entire approach today and I thought about @ATN_Pilot the whole time.
Turned me on a little.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
How much vomit did they end up cleaning out of the back?

Yes, but the captain doesn't give you the plane until you're out of 5k agl

Who am I? Where are my pants?
Famous moments in Hacker's autopilot use:
It was a bit of a challenge to program this 20-degree strafe pass, but once I was done hand-jamming the lat/long of the target I selected FLCH and it worked like a champ...
Here out at 500' AGL over the English Channel, I was sure glad that the ALT function was selected, otherwise....SPLASH!
Man, am I ever glad that the FMS was on board when I got into this unusual attitude! Man...I was crapping bricks, this is like 100 degrees of bank! The simulator instructor never let me get this far outta whack! Right after this shot, I went heads-down, dialed up the next waypoint, hit NAV, and the damn thing recovered to wings level and started flying in the correct direction. Whew.
Of course, there's no way to fly safely inside of 500' vertically and 1NM horizontally to another aircraft, but in this case I needed gas, so I ignored the TCAS RA (I know, RIGHT?!) and let George fly me into this perfect track right on the Jet Route. Turns out the KC-10's autopilot is so accurate that we were close enough that he could give me some gas!
Dear God, I'm so thankful for automation.

They were probably scared out of their minds, but you're an outlier...statistically insignificant. Well, not just statistically, but that's not important right now.

Zero. My landing sucked, but that happens regardless.

If the nonfly clicks it down a few notches and then answers a radio call and forgets to go back you have a constant torque climb.
