212man....These the same French that build the Airbus things that fly themselves despite what the pilot wants to do? Something about an airshow crash with passengers aboard as I recall.

Also...on the 155 one has to remember to put the lever down or hit a button at some point do you not....or burn up an engine?

Thinking of a situation where you are zinging along at warp speed at 7500 feet and one engine flames out......the aircraft senses the power demand for your flight condition...pours the dead dinosaurs into the combustion chamber.....and throws out all sorts of display pages at you. Then at some point the pilot is supposed to put down the cross word puzzle...and do something...since the one engine is pretty well humping to meet the demand?
