I can only assume you are a failed pilot as you seem to have a big chip. I never said I was complaining about hand flying for 4 hours, infact, quite the reverse. I was simply commenting on how a such a superbly designed aircraft with triplex autopilot can have so many system failures at the same time. Yes of course taking all power off the aircraft for 20 seconds cured all the faults, but if my memory serves me well, it did say in small print on page 121 para 6.2.1.b) of the maintenance manual that it was not recommended to do this proceedure in flight. But of course I may be wrong.
