After I read the post about the post about three more times, it started getting ambiguous about who said what.
I took all the same courses (but no Honor Roll).
And you’ve only got about five years on me, “Grand-dad”. ;-)
I believe that you and I and I would include "expatpat" are in complete agreement as to the nature of inertial nav systems. However, it seems the French pilots have different ideas as to how the magic behind the curtain really works. They also seem to agree that Air Bus has some major problems with instrmentation on the 330s, both hardware and software.
On a final note, would you feel comfortable flying in an AirBus 330, as a passenger not the pilot?
