744229 2009-02-10 18:46:00 Just for you Aviators out there I have just read another private E-Mail between Pilots and it would seem the problem isn’t completely the fly by wire principal, it’s more the computer programme and sensors.

To quote one pilot who compares an Airbus to a Boeing 777 both being fly by wire:

I can fly a 777 upside down and if I get in the S..t it will sort things out. An Airbus wouldn’t allow this. Also, if I call for more power in a Boeing I get more power, in an Airbus I ask for more power which the computer considers after consulting all the other flight parameters.


I’ve never flown either but I think I’m getting the picture. ;)
