JP -

I have the spoilers programmed to a switch on the right side of the yoke. I have to deploy the reversers before I can move my right hand from the throttles to the yoke. That same switch also operates the gear, in the opposite direction, so if I move too quickly and hit it wrong the gear will retract.

Whaddaya mean hand flown approaches? That WAS hand flown----from about 20 feet!! Geese!

If I had a f/o to handle the radio, the flaps. and the video clips, I'd hand fly the approach now and then.  ;D

Okay, I'll try a MIA/SXM flight in this beast. That should give you lots more to fuss about! Picky, picky!

Really, I actually appreciate the critique & tips!!! It's fascinating to hear how it should be done. All this training for free!! Thanks!
