TOD,
very well said
One correction: EGPWS is standard on the S-92 and optional on the 76.
I fully agree with your comments on checklists and it really irks me the way many RW checklists have gone down the route of becoming a step by step guide to operating. The step by step guideshould be done on the ground in the expanded SOPs, and the checklist should just be used to confirm the most critical items ('killer items' as NASA have referred to them)
One area where the FW world operators have an advantage in that respect is the normally excellent FCOMs the manufacturers produce. Sadly the RW manuals are less well produced.
I agree about RW EFIS and integration of systems, but would say that ECF are on track, helped no doubt by their being part of EADs (owns Airbus too). To introduce a new a/c with an FMS that has an inactive fuel page, due to there being no fuel flo input, seems symptomatic of that lack of integration.
