SR-22
Well "play around with words or not" I have used ARM mode for 24 years and it has never "bitten me", has given me good advice on occasion - as well as assisting with positive thrust during Go Arounds/Missed Approaches.
I DO find it strange that any airline would not strive to understand the increased SAFETY associated with ARM mode, in effect making a positive decision to operate with LESS safety than is available.
"...Yes M'lord, XXXX Airlines decided the Management/Training Department/Line Pilots were too lazy or too stupid to understand the "ARM" system so it was better to ignore it, albeit with a reduction in safety."
M'lord: "And prey tell how you convinced your passengers that operating with less safety was a plus for them??"
Just having a bit of fun
although in the big picture ARM mode is good **** and enhances/improves safety, EOFS!
