Yes I had a jolly in a 175 a few years ago so I know it is nice to fly! But that was the point when I noticed the screens weren't optimal. Obviously one can cope with only 4 screens, but I still maintain 5 would have better. Surely you can see that if you are used to 2 screens displaying flight info, and suddenly in an emergency you are down to 1 whilst the other chap still has 2, you are worse off than if you had the extra one because you not only have an abnormal screen setup to display the flight (instrument approach etc) but you also now have the stress of an emergency to deal with?
The Thread has drifted from the 225 crash....as often happens.
