Kenneth House, to answer your question I would remind you that the software of the A306 is 1980s vintage. Once airbus proved the technology they forgot about this aircraft type and in systems such as the Ecam much of the software has never been updated.Consequently the QRH has become a very large document. The only way to change the software is by changing the box as there are no data loading platforms as you see in more modern airbus.
The autoflight system is basic but robust. and does what it says on the tin.
