It is good to hear that the 225 has a user friendly FMS, I have heard that the autopilot package in the L2/225 was superior to that of the 92.

What are your thoughts on overuse of the autopilot - depriving pilots of true hands on flying. I know that rig approaches are much more regimented than my day -500 straight in rather than a gentle curved approach around the back of the rig to arrive fully stabilised at deck +200ft. That approach, of course, required hand flying skills
