Hi Just a quick one... I wondered if it was normal to keep the A/T in when doing a manual landing? Or is it best to take out the A/T aswell when you D/C the autopilot? Did a landing into EGAA earlier and was very gusty i kept the A/T in as i always do and was hand flying the approach but it was constantly chasing the speed and the A/C became very unstable and had to go-around. Ive tried to find something in the manuals but cant seem to find what Boeing suggest Cheers Wayne Aisbitt

I do not like to fly manual with active AT, but I tried it and works just fine. I think IRL they switch it off together with AP. Lj. Prodanovic

Boeing does not recommend flying a landing with the A/T on and A/P off. They cite confusion with knowing what airspeed protections you would have with the various modes (MCP SPD, ARM)
