Everything else just requires to, you know, be a pilot. The thing we trained to do. If you can’t handle descending in icing with the boards out and the power up you shouldn’t be doing this job. I see so many people just immediately slap the flight spoilers from full to zero and then complain about the airplane, or float halfway down the runway because they didn’t manage their energy correctly, like it’s the airplane’s fault they don’t understand aerodynamics.
