>Nigel's system looks pretty cool, with only quibble of a LearJet
flavor to it, requiring continuing understanding of it to deal with
emergencies, but jet drivers are ordinary mortals like us.<
My system actually needs less pilot input than the conventional system both
in normal and emergency situations. In fact in auto mode the system will
pick up a problem with the mechanical side and act on it probably before
the pilot is aware that there is a problem. Including checklist items in
the normal and emergency checklists are more about checking for
serviceability and coping with multiple failures than anything else.
Understanding this relatively simple system is not exactly rocket science.
