@MindfulL205 Not all aircraft are operated this way. The Lockheed L-1011 used a door that opened vertically and was operated automatically by pressing a switch. It did have an alternative manual mode though. I flew them for a few years. it was a fine plane!

@SteveNomadic I flew my last flight on this from NGO to ANC before I retired from Atlas on 31 August 2019.

It's faster, more precise, fewer issues than 787 CCD (which has its flaky moments).
I'd swap in a heartbeat.
Boeing pilots agree or nah? Best cursor control in any cockpit you've used??
