I find it ironic that someone in the company feels the FD will make for safer takeoffs, but we are told to take it off for landing because it provides erroneous information. Psssssttt... it can do the same thing on T/O, too!

It provides a decent aimpoint for initial yoke pull, beyond that I pretty much ignore it. The same thing can be done with a smooth pitch pull to 12°, then adjust for speed. As a person who has flown for 30 years without magenta, I f don’t find the FD to be all that great of an “invention”. It can help, or it can get one into trouble. Depends on your situational awareness of other cues around you.
