It almost always dumps at engine start anyway. One of these days i'll be smart enough to accept the upload after engine start.
The other downside of the auto uplink is (for example) when you need nadp1 and it automatically uploads, it begins to remove that load process from your thought process.
I am actually a fan of thinking and knowing what goes on behind the curtain...it allows me to break a negative chain of events.
However, i dont understand why we get the wait at the gate for wdr on the D-7 sometimes. It seems like an irrelevant delay.
