Yep. I always thought the PIC was the final authority as to the safe conduct of a flight. Silly me. Lawyers be lawering.

I don't disagree @mary susan watkins, but over-reliance on the digitalization of anything is not always a good idea. Flight is among the least forgiving among those things we try to do as humans. Give me a good IFR flight plan and top-shelf controllers anyday. I think the point is stick-and-rudder flying.

"November ## xray yankee zulu, turn 030 climb and maintain 5400." ...two dials. Stick and rudder? What are those? Holy crap, grandpa!

Pratt & Whitney = Reliable Engines. (koff koff) LOL, yes I realize this was a GE/Snecma (CFM) engine.

Successfully using off the shelf parts in new niches/designs can be a market changer.
