Thx for your excellent input on the subject guys.Very interesting replies indeed.Each one worth a long discussion followed by a debate.
GE,
Where else would u suggest I ask a question "like this" in the first place,if not in the tech log forum of pprune.And any suggestions as to what exactly I might and might not ask here on Pprune??! Pls don't moral police the forum.
If we all limited ourselves to reading newspapers and FCOM's for all our queries,it would endanger the very existence of pprune wouldn't it.One needs valuable input from the wiser 'others' every once in a while doesn't one? Or maybe not,as suggested by you....
