How to fly the Heavies

Let's see what this is all about.

Many pilots fly for virtual airlines and they use the big heavies to do so. Some pilots know how to fly those aircraft (it's different from flying a little one piston engine powered Cessna).
In this articles I will try to give all virtual airline pilots the chance to either learn how to fly the HEAVIES or to review their (and maybe enhance) current way of flying those aircraft.

For better practice reasons I decided to split the articles into parts and keep them as simple as possible while still retaining the most important points of correctly flying an airliner.
In the Pilot's Lounge there are other articles that describe the more down to real world part of airliner flying for the more advance pilots.
