If you mean that the chore of trimming has been designed-out, and path stability designed-in on the A320 family; well that's technological progress.
It is what I mean, and calling it 'chore' is borderline arrogant, if I interpret the word correctly (not native)
Trimming, undestanding the aerodynamics, is just such a fundamental part of flying. It's something you drill into the students from the very beginning of flight training. Proper trimming frees up a lot of spare mental capacity, it's important you get that right. I had students well into the Multi-Engine Instrument phase struggle with trimming when workload increased. I am thinking of several airliner accidents where the crew have struggled with a plane severely out of trim. Addmitedly some 737s, which ironically will be held against me now
I just think it's a bit bold calling trimming 'a chore'.
Progress and technology, yes, I agree. It's marvelous. The Airbus FBW is easier to fly than speed stable aircraft. I just prefer the latter, it makes me feel like I am in an airplane and not a rocket
