    How could they forget the foot pedals? That’s a whole axis and objectively the most fun controls on the plane.

      Yeah, the foot pedals and IAS indicator are glaring omissions. I guess they really just want you to fly with autopilot and autothrust, but good fucking luck setting up autoland without prior experience.

        i mean i assume good luck landing without prior experience in general … surely it’d be easier for someone over the radio to walk you through setting some auto things correctly than walking you through how to land?

        Set the autopilot, make yourself a coffee while you skim the manual, successful landing.
