With the THS, after I put in the M/B data in the FMS, it could set the THS for me (It resets to 0 automatically after landing after all).
I am not saying they were wrong, I just haven't found the answer to why...
That sounds like a very bad idea.
Which only shows that the same idea on the longitudinal axis is debatable to say the least.
