Wonderful. Head up display? For lower than standard minima and manual CAT 3. Meaning we will shortly be able to use CAT 2 minima whilst using a CAT 1 installation.

Easy and satisfying to hand fly (And I used to think the 146 was nice to hand fly). Easy to operate through the automatics although the bloke who designed the MCP needs shooting.

Good performance, especially off shorter runways.

Over head panel is mostly automatic but is still well laid out. Autothrottle is good but can be a bit slow, you can easily override it without it disconnecting.

EFIS is great - any information you want you can have. The FMS is easy to use and does everything you want it too.

More than 99% dispatch rate at my airline.

Would I change? Nope.
