Airline Jerry Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hi everybody here’s what I’m dealing with and I hope someone can help and I appreciate it if you can. So when im flying an airline jet for instance I like to use the showcase view and the camera view where you’re sitting in your seat looking out the window over the engine or the wing as if you’re a passenger and just enjoy the flight you know what I mean? In order to do that I change the setting up top under the captains hat and let the copilot do the flying and handle the radio but when he/she does they hardly use any power and fly so slow like 40% of the engine power and they won’t go any faster and I don’t know why. Has anyone heard of this happening? Enjoy your flights. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveboston Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yes I have noticed that too. I can very occasionally get one to carry on with a cruise at say 2000 ft AGL and if well trimmed out in a 172. But they not only usually throttle back and/or descend, they make a real hash of approaches. Having navigated a TBM to a major airport and obtained all ATIS & ATC clearences I thought copilot Oveur would take over from Captain Speaking and fly a decent pattern. At first - yes - but then a turn short of final to an undershoot on a taxiway (until I took over). Hmmm ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
