Hi Guys
Would you fly this aircraft if u had no AP1/AP2 functioning in IMC conditions? the DAFCS is FZ760 model by the way; our MEL states that if 1 of the AP is available, either 1 or 2, we can fly IMC??? furthermore after repeatably snagging the aircraft, it is simply released into service with the same know defect....
Of course we can fly the aircraft manually, ie no APs, and only with the AFCS mode then as per the standard S76C model but then u loose the AFCS and you're in IMC??? then what, on CAT A ops...
I have refused to fly this unit 3 times in IMC conditions but now looked at as being a troublemaker....
