Power levers left at idle, airspeed decay...

To the thread- there is a new generation of pilots that, because of market need and the advances in automation/safety/warning systems, do not need 3000-4000 hours of piston to safely fly today's jets/advanced t-props.

They need proper mentoring...

And if they can't maintain airspeed, altitude and heading, they need to look elsewhere for employment...
