We have many more problems with the FADEC and Arriel engines than with those nice old fashioned P&Ws with their EECs.

Why didn't Sikorsky standardise with the Blackhawk "throttle" quadrant?

Why didn't they call the tracks "normal" and "emergency"? It's far more logical to simply move a lever forward & aft in "normal" mode and pull it down into an "emergency" mode, rather than vice versa. It's the opposite logic on the C+.

The C++ engine control setup is apparently better designed.
