I'll stick with cables & pulleys, thanks.
The next gen 737 gets information from the ADIRU's or whatever they call them on that thing. You thinking the autopilot couldn't command "bad" control movements?
I put a link to the video feed at the bottom.
Sure it could, but it's not the same thing. When you see it malfunction and hit the AP disconnect on a Boeing, you're actually disconnecting the computer. That's not the case on a fly-by-wire airplane like the Airbus.
Well, not sure how you read that into the report? How did they gain control of the a/c? Not having anymore data to go by, they may well have disconnected the autopilot and flown manually.
I don't think even the protection modes will command a "negative G" pushover. Anyone know?
They did disconnect and fly manually. The report is a bit vague, but it can be read that two minutes after the first fault, and with the AP off, the flight control computers commanded another significant hard over. Yikes!
7 FAC's?
