Subject: Re: update Jeffrey, When Dave read your email, his first comment was, "He thought he did a=good job, and blamed the event on Wind shear, he actually thought he flew t=e plane acceptable" which is a little concerning.

When I mentioned ki=king off the auto-Throttles and just fly the plane like a regular plane, )S=ick and Rudder skills),. he said, "maybe we should "always" disengage the a=toThrottles when the Wind Gust factor is greater than double the current st=ady wind"., (the wind was reported l0kts, gusting 28kts during our landing)=.
