[quoteI’d love to know which system helps in these situations and takes the crosswind into account! Which system are you referring to dharmstrong?

Only deal with commercial airliners, mostly modern types with full autopilot systems. All jets. Autopilot takes a feed of flight data from the FMC from what I have been told by pilot friends who fly for a few major UK operators.
Spent a number of years (14 at the last count) sat watching them.
My Dad flew Vampire t55 in the 60’s and then commercial and (dc9’s and latterly 727, and I think he trained for 737’s but quit to become a vet) and he said the difference between flying a fast fighter jet in a miltary situation and flying a commercial airliner was like driving a bus vs a an F1 car. So I imagine you are a commercial pilot and used to be miltary?
