ASFKAP.

Not wishing to be a pedant but not all 500s were digital. 216sqn had a mix when i was on them and they back converted the pam am digitals to standardise them with the BA analogues.

I had to laugh a couple of years ago when my friends in Brazil were telling me how wonderfull the steep approach mode on the little Embraer jets was. When i mentioned that it was just a copy of the l1011 DLC from the 70's they were more than a little crestfallen.
