He was totally on board with it, although the RJ jumpseater was totally confused.
I flew into Hong Kong last week. Turned off the a/p on the downwind vector to 7L. I know the automation can do the job, I need to make sure I can as well. No one had an issue with me doing that.

I routinely turn off the AP in lefthand traffic to westbound landings at Vegas... Overshooting winds almost always result in a gross overshoot if you try to let the AP make the turn to final, both in the A320 and 737. North of the extended centerline is where all the canyon tours fly, so that's not a good place to be and a bad AP turn-in is no excuse.

Years ago ('91?) I was flying into Anchorage at some ungodly hour of the night. There wasn't much chatter on the radio. Center asked an aircraft (Delta 757?) on freq for the INS winds and got them, then asked the same of a United 727 to which the pilot responded, "In this old pile of junk? All we've got is an ADF and a flashlight." LOL!

NAV it till your on the loc then hook it up works great in strong winds.

Not an expert, but I understand the difference to be that floating is on a water bed. That way if one of your friends just happens to sit on the bed causing a little motion that is not your doing, you can still claim to be upholding the law of chastity. Kind of a "definition of is-is"
So the motions of an airplane in flight during floating would meet the same basic criteria.

Any time you need to justify your behavior by referring to the explicit definition you probably know better. If you need a “but we didn’t really move” you might as well “inhale” (when related to 420 in college) or “is” (when related to cigars in the office).
