Our planes will do precisely that.

A check airman tried to tell me the plane would level off and go to preset altitude and I bet him it wouldn’t. He ended up buying. He wasn’t the only one.

Another source of free booze and meals from check airmen has been the autoland features. Some check airmen didn’t think our planes were equipped with that option. They’d be the ones buying that day. We wouldn’t have the plane autoland, but I’d have it configured and walk them through the events, the FMA differences, the trim, and then tell them about the autopilot go-around and how it doesn’t kick off if you press TOGA while in dual channel.

More than one check airman has shown disgust towards the wall between the Standards and the Procedures silos.
