Looks like a lot of good stuff for redundancy/safety.

You’ve mentioned twice what if the PF scan rate fails, so You assume that on a dark night the PM is already sleeping or on WhatsApp ?
4 eyes should be sufficient to have all these wonderful protections for about 40 seconds (let’s assume You disconnect the automatics at 500ft or so).
