What is apparent here is that no-one DOES seem to know what can go wrong with it, so the answer to your second question is a resounding YES!

Wth such a spider's web of computer cross-chat, it is surely vital to have some sort of independent backup for that 'Titanic' moment when the infallable safety net breaks. Even basic uncorrupted attitude would be a start. TAS and ALT are not essential, you can live without profile rate for quite a while.

- up until the last week or so I had, in my blissfull ignorance, assumed that ISIS would have a mini-platform, thus requiring those "accelerometer" and "??gyrometer??" in the 'box'. Now I'm left wondering.
