We landed normally after a slight autopilot malfunction as described by the pilot.. You can hear the throttle fluctuations as they try to keep the plane at a constant speed.. it was rather windy that day which probably made it even harder
@dalejr82010 I think you miss-interpreted what I was trying to say. The guys in the video did a great job. Although I don't have any experience flying the 737, I jumpseat on united airbus' all the time which are similar in size to the 737. More often than not if their doing a visual, they'll disengage the autothrottles around the base-to-final segment. just wondering, how familiar are you to the aviation/airline environment?(just curious, not trying to sound insulting :)
@domin755 Those airliners are very small jets and maintaining a speed and controlling the plane are not as difficult as they are more nimble than the larger jet featured in the video (Boeing 737). The pilots are trained on a B737 and therefore use the autothrottle probably 99% of the time so its more difficult to do something that you're not used to. Imagine having to tell yourself to breathe and your body not doing it autonomously, now try multi-tasking...
@BOEINGFRENZY It is not especially difficult to "Steadily control" the throttles during landing, it's actually easier to use manual on certain aircraft or with wind/gust conditions.

@BOEINGFRENZY
except every crj-series and all emb-series (except 170,190 etc..) aircraft. none of those airplanes have autothrottles.

Wow I'd be scared as hell listening to that during a landing!

@meccaturbo the fact that there's so much stuff that isn't nice just means there's no reason to add to it.
