This thread is getting away, as usual, onto Airbus perceived faults by those who don't have any idea how good it is and how safe it can be compared to the geriatrics many of us pilots, including me, have flown.
That is true. However, as I said early on.....like it or not.....had this been a 'conventional' airplane, there would have been no reason for such a test, would there? I just won't go away, will I?
