I’d personally describe the 189 AFCS (and FMS) as “disappointing”. Not as good as the 139, and a different league to the 225. I’m hoping for some improvements with subsequent “Phases”.

We will take that into account everytime a combining gearbox fails catastrophically. Irrelevant in this case, but even you know that. I hope.

I think we are having parallel arguments, rather than totally disagreeing with each other.
