- no - you need to read the thread!
a) The autopilot (B, we are told) did NOT disconnect at 2000'
b) the autopilot (B) would NOT disconnect with a No1 radalt fail.
c) the radalt was not inoperative

This is getting so repetitive!


ant1 - in my Tech manual, at the end of automatic flight under min speed reversion. Very last lines.

in Fact is - knowing CNN I suspect they have just woken up................

Intruder - I think you actually asked about a RETARD annunciation? The answer is yes, a caption (only, no audio) at the top of the PFD but it is not very obvious.
