Serious answer, click off the autopilot, and fly the plane.


The 777 it's getting to be an epidemic. Auto pilot on. Even though it's doing something you don't want it to do. They don't know how to anticipate the automation to keep it from doing something they don't want, and then they continue to diddle the knobs in wasted effort and in vain to make it do something else than what they've programmed...I've had numerous cohorts tell me I have to have the autopilot on above FL180. Know the rules. But then again, these are the dweebs that put the AP on at 200' in the first place. I place a large part of the blame on TK teaching to the lowest common denominator.

Seriously, just one, maybe two clicks of the little red button..
