FMS logic reduces the AOB at higher altitudes, resulting in a relaxed turn which doesn't frighten the SLF looking out the window and more importantly the grumpy old phart in the left hand seat.

Ruined when ATC requests a heading of more than AOB in degrees and HDG mode used without any change to the "normal" bank selector.

Smoothies will reduce this to 15 or 10 degrees, and then might remember to reset it to normal before trying to capture the localiser off a heading, otherwise a beautiful series of futile and unsuccessful phugoids around the localiser results in red faces and maybe worse?
