Default NOT IGNORANCE BUT REALITY - REAL AUTOPILOT DISCONNECT WARNINGALARM 4min 58secs on Video

Ibby, if you want to respond to my comments about another person's ignorance
then perhaps you should try to understand the example.

You've clearly failed here and attempt to blame me for your failure. Bad form
to say the least.

PPL here are saying that the autopilot has NO warning system when
disengaged because 'I' said it does on one post and that I couldn't
understand how the pilot of the reported accident wasn't aware he
accidently switched it off, and as 'I' use a sim 'I' haven't got a
bloody clue and am made out to be a LIAR.
The clip 'I' posted clearly shows on a REAL 747-400 aircraft that the
Autopilot DOES have a warning system when the autopilot is
disconnected. The 737 also has it and so do most airliners and a lot
of General Aviation aircraft too.

I give up with group. You make out we simmers have zero qualification
to speak about certain issues and I agree on some aspects. But
considering most of you lot are probably not commercial pilots either
then the same can be said for your responses when you start shouting
'we don't believe you because you play a game', even when video
evidence is posted before your eyes of real aircraft. Yes I may have
never set foot on a real flightdeck of an airliner, though I at least
have flown a real plane (unlike MX) but that does not mean I cannot
aquire the knowledge that I understand what will happen to the
aircraft if I push this button whilst flying with the autopilot.

One does NOT have to fully experience something physically to
understand how it works. A doctor does not have had to experience the
pains and traumas etc his patients perhaps have to understand what is
happening inside their bodies and how to remedy them. An astromoner
does NOT have to get inside the Space Shuttle and enter the deep
realms of space to understand about the planets and stars!!!!!!!

Goodbye
