bikeman564™ Posted August 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 22, 2017 cool, I'd love to be in the cockpit during a flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted August 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2017 That was cool, though I also didn't think it seemed like a high pressure situation. My son found a flight simulator app and I've been playing it. I can land safely maybe 50% of the time; I'm sure I could do it at least as well in real life.

Several are multi position with Auto being one of those positions. Typically moved to Auto before flight and not touched again unless there is a system failure.

maddmaxx ★ Posted August 22, 2017 Share #14 Posted August 22, 2017 I always like flaps 3 and gear down when you get tossed forward and all the banging and noise starts. That's when you can see some really white knuckles in the cabin from the rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR conditions, don't notice bad wind shear or turbulence. Nothing that would have been high pressure in the planes I have flown but my biggest has been King Air and Citation so could have missed something in that plane.
