Doesn't matter, the family can still sue, doesn't mean they'll win but does mean the manufacturer has to spend money defending it. This kind of thing nearly killed (some folks will say did kill) the small aircraft market. Cessna stopped building 2 and 4 seaters in the early '80s because of law suits from families that lost members for things that were considered pilot error. It took a change in the law to limit liability before they started building them again and even with that the prices are astronomical compared to what you get, partially because of liability.

I think you read me wrong. I'm on your side of the argument, just saying there is no incentive for the manufacturers to allow you to fully disable it and lots of reasons for them not to, or to give you a placebo button that sort of does it.

Not something I track sorry, but there are lots of them on the road if you don't mind used!
