Default Mx: Tweaking the throttle on approach

EridanMan writes:

Its called 'pilot workload'.

In a real aircraft, you must:
-Fly the Plane
-Operate The Aircraft Systems
-Keep track of your current location
-Communicate with ATC
-Keep Watch for Traffic
-Plan your future track (or reference your flightplan), this includes
making absolutely sure you remain clear of all restricted airspace.

All in a reasonably loud, chaotic setting, with absolutely no option
to 'pause'...


Sounds doable, with a bit of practice. I don't have much trouble with it in
the sim.

Of course its doable, we do it all the time.

Utterly irrelevant statement... You mastery of an arbitrary task-load
designed to approximate a pilot's workload with a substantially
constrained interface says nothing.
