EASA grounds the 7X

[jonjuan]

Sorry...But that's a poor example. This is exactly where FBW excels. With a FBW aircraft, when I pull full aft the computers will allow me to go to an AOA just below the stalling AOA. At that AOA I am producing the maximum amount of lift from the wing, getting the most performance that the wing is capable of with out stalling. How sure are you that you won't enter the stall on this side of the hill, or that you will have enough altitude to recover from your stall on the other side. The only way to recover is to lower the AOA and now the ground is rushing back up at you.

I would much rather be in a FBW aircraft when performing a wind shear or GPWS escape maneuver!

Exactly- gotta wonder about some who think "If I want to rip the wings off the plane, that's my prerogative.". Lol

You guys may be right. But I'll stick to my cable airplane and not ask 'mother may I' before executing a maneuver.

I may have to revise my position since the G-650 is FBW. Now, if I can scrape together the $100k (or whatever FSI is going to charge...) for the type.

They were. That's why they went with steering wheels instead of sidesticks. Didn't work.
