A330/A340 EAD (AoA PROBES)

In aviation it is frequently said that an experienced aviator is one that uses his exceptional knowledge in order to avoid having to use his exceptional skill.

The correlation to this thread is that I am able to understand (generally) what the people at airbus write, but I have to work at it sometimes.

The cynic in me suspects that it is not just a poor translation from French into technical English but a deliberate attempt to minimise adverse media coverage at the expense of clarity.

An undue warning seems much less emotive than a spurious warning when read as a newspaper headline!
