Not a pilot- as is obvious from my post. Just impressions that were not based in any facts- we did get to destination in each time, but did not like the way it felt- if that makes any sense. Which it doesn’t taken objectively. Flying in Caribbean in a variety of aircraft put some excitement in the work day.
I am not a pilot either. But watching aircraft accident videos seem to indicate pilots are way behind the aircraft when the autopilot disengages during heavy icing or other foul weather events when they crash..
