Some might argue that the safest way possible is by not allowing your instrument and stick 'n rudder skills lapse (for that one time that the band-aid F/D or A/P has kicked the bucket)...just an observation nothing more. I hope everybody here tries their luck once in a while raw-data...the Jets aren't that scary ;-)
