Even worse, ever fly a Metro with a deferred nosewheel steering and then been stupid enough to try to use it? 🤪😲

The metro has 17 memory items. The 767 has one third the memory items. Metro was created by idiots to be flown by geniuses

We called it "Zoolander" when it was only able to turn one direction. Oh the memories.

Now that is awesome!

No, it was never created to be a single pilot freight hauler. The flying at AMF is challenging because they take complicated airplanes, and make you fly them by yourself. Having trained FO's is a nice addition but the responsibility still lies on the CA, AMF doesn't truly hold the FO to second in command standards like an airline does. Not to mention that the planes are beyond old...

Hahahah this is great.

I ain’t no genius!

but I did stay at a holiday in express during my Ameriflight stint.

Not to mention the metro was designed and first built over 10 years before the 767 and has no where NEAR the automation.

Can’t forget the “Texas Tampon” name either.

Hand flying an old airplane, alone, through weather, with no gps going to an airport in the mountains with a DME arc to VOR approach and limited ATC radar coverage.....what could go wrong! Haha. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t say it was bad, just challenging.
