Handling The Big Jets.pdf -

Davies insisted on a "raw data" philosophy. He taught that a captain should be able to fly an ILS approach with the flight director switched off, using only the raw localizer and glideslope needles. The essay uses a powerful analogy: the autopilot is a servant, not the master. He was deeply concerned that pilots were becoming "systems managers" who could program a flight computer but could not feel the aircraft approaching a stall. For Davies, handling the big jets meant maintaining a kinetic connection to the machine—feeling the control forces lighten as speed bleeds off, and feeling the inertia shift during a turn.

In a light prop, the backside of the power curve feels mushy. In a big jet, it is lethal. The PDF goes into detail about approach speed stability . If you are slow and you pull back on the yoke to stop sinking, you increase drag (induced drag from the AoA), worsening the sink rate. The solution? to gain speed—a counterintuitive act that saved lives during the 1970s accidents (e.g., the 1963 Vickers Vanguard crash).

Simply downloading the PDF and skimming it is like owning a gym membership and never lifting a weight. Here is a study plan based on airline training department recommendations:
