REFLECTOR:accident/incident report

Tue, 03 Jun 2003 03:01:35 +0000

Amen. It's not worth 10 knots to me.  Plus, and I hope I don't hurt anyone's 
feelings here, it seems like half of the KPCs are RG related.  I'm not saying 
it's not a safe system, I'm just saying that it would double the complexity of 
my airplane.
