How to get E bracket lined up and mantaine it

[RePhil]

I would love a tutorial on how to get E bracket lined up with velocity vector and maintained do you hold stick at level flight and trim E bracket to it or let stick go and trim E bracket to it I get it one time then cant next time. Or maybe I should just join the army

I keep the W (where the nose is pointed) at about 5 degrees... and use the throttle to keep the AOA indicator within the E bracket.

What StandingCow said, plus PRACTICE. You'll get it.

 

 

Then practice more.

My trim method is to hold the FPM just bellow the horizon as the jet slows to around 250kts and then go for the flaps and gear, i add some throttle because the flaps create alot of drag once down, i then switch to using the throttle to maintain level flight. Once the jet is balanced i trim for on speed AOA.

Depends what stick you are using and in what situation. With a Force Feedback stick the trimming moves the stick to new location. With centering stick you keep it centered and trim.

 

Or you can go all the way in without trimming, as in harder situations as you don't have time to trim but need to do larger movements to stay in glide path.

Trim. And try not to use too much pitch input. Throttle only to control rate of descent.

use the throttle to control the flight path indicator, use only pitch trim to move the E bracket. If your flight path indicator is below the E bracket, trim nose up, if it's above the E bracket, trim nose down.

 

Use the stick to keep it level as you slow down to on-speed, or go half at like 170 knots, then full at around 150 knots but the really tricky part is throttle control as you reach on-speed. After that you should only be adjusting pitch with trim not the stick, and again only to line the flight path indicator with the E bracket, once you are on-speed AoA throttle does all the pitching up/down.

 

Without autothrottle it's pretty much a constant forward/backward movement of the throttle to maintain a set speed. Push, let off, push (before it stops spooling down even), let off (Before it stops spooling up even)
