.......things have moved on to the 175 and 189, which probably have good autopilots (well the 175 certainly does) but then again, have the fatal design flaws on those new aircraft manifested themselves yet? Who knows!
I’d personally describe the 189 AFCS (and FMS) as “disappointing”. Not as good as the 139, and a different league to the 225. I’m hoping for some improvements with subsequent “Phases”.

As an Aircraft as a whole - I really like it (AW189). Hoping for no undiscovered “fatal design flaws”.
