You’re operating under the misconception that the FCOM is a pilot document. It’s not. It’s written by the manufacturer’s lawyers with the specific intent of keeping the manufacturer out of prison.
Well, I can understand that viewpoint and I’d neither agree or disagree publicly, as that’s speculative and none of us could prove or disprove I think it fair to suggest, would you agree Jonty?. But the issue for me still (aside from the above quote) is that the inherent idea of the FCOM is as a pilot reference and information resource supplied by the aircraft manufacturer. I suggest that it (FCOM) fails in this remit quite often and for reasons I’ve mentioned.
