The NTSB did what they do and transfered liability back to the Manufacturer. That turned out to be an unfortunate decision when Eastern's management threw the Airline across a craps table. It was dumb-ass pilots, period. That auto-flight system was wonderful. Then again, you had to have a brain and understand the auto-flight modes, including how the trip from Command to CWS could burn you if you failed to mind the store. The only airplane that I loved flying more than the L-1011 was the Boeing 707-100 fan-powered, seriously over-powered dream machine. The 707 was one fast airplane. a poor diversion slaps boy.
