One should always trust manual over electronics...at least thats what my wife has taught me.

Agreed 100%. I often fly my Meg manually to keep from becoming to reliant on the automation. The Meg has a nice safety net when doing this. It will not allow the PO2 to drop below .2 without firing the solenoid. Obviously, making sure the solenoid works prior to the dive is key to that though.

Even in our aircraft, manual reversion is often necessary when the automation goes tango uniform. Skills must be maintained, and the robots must not be trusted!

That's a good one, Welcome brother, come down and dive so I'm not the only KISS diver.
