Does one usually leave FLCH selected for approach?
Again, I Am Not A 777 Pilot. However, from what I gather selecting FLCH for an approach is a big No-No for experienced Boeing pilots. Transitioning Airbus pilots (like the left-seater in this case) can make that mistake; however, it is readily picked up with a good instrument scan, an alert pilot, and understanding that the Pilots have to Fly The D*** Plane instead of trusting the computer to be error-free.
