Not to mention I want to try the taxi'ing thing we didnt do.
I think that you have a good point.
It was difficult enough to attempt to instantly switch from using the yoke to steer the aircraft before landing to using the pedals after landing while braking the aircraft on an active runway and pulling the yoke back ever so slightly to keep the nose of the aircraft slightly upwards upon touchdown — all simultaneously.
Even though I did fairly well on my last “landing” in the Boeing 777-200 flight simulator, I would like to have the opportunity to attempt to perfect that — if I knew it would do any good in real life.
I can be
such a perfectionist...
