It looks a nice aircraft on the face of it. The flight deck seems to have copied bits from both Airbus and Boeing and the avionics are supplied from the west. The side stick is pure Airbus obviously but the MCP panel looks more Boeing.

Does anyone have an English FCOM for it? Be interested to know how far the FBW has gone - does the pilot retain full authority or is it more Airbus? Looks like the thrust levers move unlike Airbus?

I suspect it may turn out to be decently safe but think I’d wait a couple of years before making a judgement.
