And another thing!... In defence of the thread subject crews repeated resetting of the AFCS and then expecting it to work but perhaps with some seeds of doubt, what isn't covered is to what extent such resetting was commonplace. Sometimes we end up living with nuisances such as having to routinely reset things that we really shouldn't have to do, in the case of the L2 for example accepting a flashing GOV for departure when we really shouldn't do. These things shouldn't happen but in the real world they do, due to inertia caused by other more pressing things to be fixed, cost, or the daunting task of getting any fixes past EASA.
