Without any agenda, Dozy, explain to me your thoughts on the degrade, and the retention of a familiar axis, and introduction of an unfamiliar.
What happens to 447 with degrade to Direct, and its 'trim only' Pitch inputs, manual. Zoom climb? A focus on small inputs, and those by hand? I personally see a potential for salvation. If only to gain time, less altitude, and reappearance of good speeds. I know, hindsight.
Wadda ya think?
Thanks
