Used that before... works well.
The Honeywell FMS just isn't user-friendly IMHO (not as bad as the Universal I hear though!), but it grows on you after a while. There's times when I sit there and ask myself "What the hell is Consuela doing in there?!?!". From what an instructor told me (take it with a grain of salt!), the Honeywell FD we have in the 135/145
was actually originally certified for an Augusta helicopter, and never really designed for use above 150 knots... but they tweaked it and dumped that turd into the ERJ.
