I seriously, seriously doubt that the Kobe flight was Ara's first foray into IMC conditions
So you're saying the pilot regularly went into IMC without logging the fact, his operator was VMC only, IMC not permitted. If that's a fact, which I'll let you prove/disprove, it points to a somewhat lax attitude to the business, in which case, if true, the accident might come as no surprise.
On the 76....some models did much the same or built in the algorithms into the Sperry System as I understand it
My understanding
SAS is that the system was just removed, I believe that's all they did to our machines, the Blackhawk received the same treatment. Why they retained the system as an option I don't know,
JohnDixson John Dixon would have the low down.
Surprised that with your experience, you noticed no quirkiness in the S76 FED
I'm with
FED, 12,000 hours, we're either thick as bricks or have such superlative skills we took such things in our stride with little perception.
