This is a good review. Would have been interested to see some remarks on the Land 2 and Land 3 capabilities. Was a bit on the 'wordy' side (just a bit too much prose for me) but quite thorough.I did find that this statement from page 2 is not accurate, however:I also select the TAKEOFF prompt and input our flap setting and our flap retraction altitude (also known as the

Nicely written.
