Someone used airbus and "logic" in the same sentence - now that is funny...
When you let engineers (who have never flown an aircraft) design and implement aircraft systems and "logic" you get an airbus.

 

[A350]

Positive rate:

Is not the A320 flight controls in direct mode until the aircraft is airborne? This gives the pilot direct control over the flight controls on the ground for crosswind inputs. That is why you can get full aft stick on the ground, but in the air it is limited to alpha floor.

A350

 

[Say Again Over]

That is correct, a Direct relationship to control inputs, officially Ground Mode.

What's a loop-hold?

"loop-hold" is a word someone types when there left middle finger is too lazy to go from the 'd' to the 'e' on a QWERTY keyboard while attempting to type the word "loop-hole"

A300 isn't smart enough to cause the France accident. I think that was when they were introducing the A320.

That is one of the most misunderstood crashes out there. The pilot flying that A320 had the aircraft just above stall speed with the engines spooled down. All the logic did in that case was keep the aircraft from stalling by maintaining a pitch attitude just above the critical angle of attack. At the last minute the Captain (chief pilot) realized he was below the tree line and goosed the throttles to clear the trees. Anybody who flies jets understands that going from a low/back side of the power curve power setting to take off go around power takes time with a jet engine. Unfortunately the engines spooled up just as he made contact with the trees and if you watch the video you can hear it spooling up the last couple seconds.

The same thing would have happened in any Boeing plane. It was poor airmanship....

I remember reading somewhere that there was a question of the accuracy of the altimeters in that particular aircraft and that there was supposedly some conspiracy over retrieval of the boxes??

True/Not True ??

Don't make fun if you don't know how to spell "they're".
