Hi !

Today, we continue this tutorial serie for a Moon landing, fully manual from the start of the powered descent to touchdown, all from the cockpit (IVA).

This is one of the trickiest part of IVA flying, but one of the most rewarding for sure !

Perhaps you've already seen this, but if not it's definitely worth watching.  1h21m long, but very fascinating throughout for anyone with an interest in the Apollo program.  This includes the best explanation I've ever heard for what was really going on with those 1201 and 1202 alarms.

Yeah that's a great video 100% !
This brings this to my head, did you see the video by David Scott about the AGC ? Really cool having an astronaut telling his experience with the thing... : )

I had not seen this David Scott video before.  But I watched it this afternoon.  Great stuff!  Thanks.
