July 3, 200322 yr Luigi,When on approach keep your eye on that glideslope indicator like its your Mama on a tightrope...When you see the aircraft going under the glideslope THROTTLE UP RIGHT AWAY, do NOT raise the nose of the aircraft.When flying a jet be double aware as the jet engines need also time to spool up, reason that many jet pilots prefer to disable the autothrotle on approach. People can anticipate much better then machines.
