Roulis, thanks for that. Just when I think the thread has reached irrelevancy, something interesting appears.
I can't begin to believe that the design team that came up with the AB FBW system (w/protections) intended to make things harder than necessary, nor that they would knowingly design a confusing system. Therefore, the confusing and harder than necessary situations they created were a mistake.
My only question would be: will they now correct their mistake, or will they add further layers of complexity in an attempt to prove the original design philosophy correct?
