The Bus is a weird mix of "you can't do that because the engineer that designed it is smarter than you" and "why did you forget to start down"?
The things the Airbus can't do is what I found surprising. There is no way to make the autopilot track a raw data VOR radial. You can dispaly it, and you can build it in the FMGC, but you can't tell George to track it. Nor can it track a backcourse. Boggles my mind. It's inane to be driving a brand-new, $40 million aircraft down a complex approach in heading select, because a particular approach isn't in the database.
