"Completely false. The pilot is "master" in a hard-limited system right up to the point where he or she commands a maneouvre that would stall or damage the aircraft - and the aircraft will follow that command right up to the safe limit. The computer is there to help, not to hinder."

Item: Autotrim. Soft limit? Silent helper? Hard limit, eg: "Take this trim and....."

Shall the master be given an "AUTOTRIM/DISABLE" toggle to prevent the Stabiliser from "Helping"? Can we see a priority alert for LAW CHANGE in concert with AUTOPILOT LOSS? Something different, and notable, not like the thirty seven items of maintenance logged? A STALL WARN that WARNS and an additional one that alerts "DEPARTED"? Dear DEPARTED, we are gathered here...... Focus, flyboy, you're ass is STALLED.....
