In support of DC-ATE: I've flown the A320 a lot and believe it to be a good, safe aeroplane and better than the 737. However, I think the autotrim function is a mistake, in that, if I want to stall a Boeing/DC, I have to pull like mad, but this thing helps me by trimming into the stall.
I've not read the full report, but I expect autotrim helped the Bangalore (OPEN DES into the approach lights) accident to happen.
