Need some advice from a jet-jockey. When approaching for landing in a kero burner...what's the technique ? Piston engine plane of course you adjust approach slope with throttle. One former airline pilot told me you just leave the throttles alone and adjust approach slope by just raising or lowering the nose ?????

Are there modern jets that use an auto-throttle so you could just adjust attitude?
It's been a long time but the rule I learned was adjust rate of decent with power, and attitude with surface controls. If, for example, on glide slope your RoD increases you might be inclined to pull back a little on the stick. However, without increasing power, this would aggravate the increasing AoA, decrease speed, and therefore the danger of a stall. The correct response is to apply more power and expect to hold attitude steady. Different aircraft have different handling requirements but I believe this is still the basic procedure, jets or props. Keep the air moving over the wings. Come on folks, there are lots of current pilots here.

If you're having trouble with glideslopes in FS, remember it's a game and that aircraft you're flying is only as realistic as someone made it to be. Creating believable flight characteristics takes and lots of trial and error time. If you're talking about the real thing I suppose mass and aerodynamics play a big part in what you're talking about.
