Default Full procedure versu vectors



If you are making routine instrument approaches, sitting there
watching the magic box move the little airplane on the screen and
drive the autopilot and your prime job in life is to control the
throttle as you whistle and tap in time to the music, you are not
current (in reality) and will be in a load of crap the day the
autopilot goes off line in real crud...

Far better you accept the vectors for every other flight and hand fly
the airplane on the steam gauges as you drip sweat in time to the
flopping of the indicator needles... Then someday when it actually
becomes life or death you will be ready...
