Hi all,
I essentially agree with what is offered, but add one extra point, my understanding regarding the DC seperation, is from the opposite point of view.
I think the DC power supplies are seperated for the very reason that if one side does fail, it doesn't overload the other, with the resultant total power loss.

When 'land' mode is selected, the same DC seperation occurs, for the same reason!

Cheers
