Re: Donald Trump/ Hillary Clinton

Re: F.A.O.: Flyboy

I'm honestly not real sure what the sudden interest in autobrakes is. Why are they such a big deal all of a sudden? Because we wish Evan had them? 8-) I think if Not_Karl put any kind of post asking for the autobrake procedures on an Airbus, Evan would be spewing all kinds of possibly out-dated, ac...

I should also ask if we should punish manual flying and not using auto-aids in any specific way. I'm kind of ashamed to have put Boeing Bobby and VNav in such a similar context.

Specific Braking Procedure in FCOM for A-320-236A

Would you (or Dummy) share the typical braking procedures for landings? I used to think things were done almost exclusively manually as I remember lots of variations in braking, plenty of surges and variations in intensity, etc. Thanks to MSFS and a few sentences here and there, I’m now aware of aut...
