The gripe about the 'CAT A' is a very important and flight safety gripe which I also find hard to understand the logic of putting the switch in such an awkward position. An arming button on the left side of the collective switch box would have been a better choice.
For those who remember the tragic accident in Northern Ireland a couple of years ago which more than likely happened because of a badly sited wiper on/off switch.
There are many gripes about the MD902 but in my opinion the cockpit switch logic and layout is the best I've come across.
However, the weight increase must be eagerly awaited by all users, so EADS get your finger out!
