i have to. there seems to be a disconnect between what the FD tells me to do to stay on the GS, and what the GS is telling me. so i just look through it. (the box DOES NOT like you to turn the FD off.)

and the autothrottles are horrible if it's gusty. they overreact to every little gust (we're slow, FULL THROTTLE. oops, too fast - IDLE), so i go old school in those occasions.

Chautauqua Mainline, baby!
