Perfect! And with the Simple Characteristics defended by Kelly Johnson, Einstein, St. Exupéry, Occam, Leonardo Da Vinci and (some) other designers / engineers.


Machaca told me (and he was right) to look all posts before the ones i made and was making on a/c recorders. And now i will be able to post, checking not only here (AF447) but in many other PPRuNe threads.

Albert Einstein's: "everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."

Leonardo Da Vinci's: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

Antoine de Saint Exupéry's: "It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
