I think a big reason for the sim instructors not liking pitch or roll mode is that many newer people in the sim don't REALIZE that they are in that mode. I've had it happen to me a few times and seen it happen many times where you hit a certain mode and for some reason the A/P reverts to pitch/roll mode unintentionally. If you're not watching your FMA(mode annunciator), which many new people in the sim don't do, it could be a disaster. The sim instructors have probably seen it happen too many times. Just a guess though.PCL_128 said:Rez, didn't you listen to your ground/sim instructor at Pinnacle? "Don't let the plane go into Pitch or Roll Mode!!!! You'll die!!!!!!!"
