The difficulty is that a single point failure (flaky attitude sensor in this case) causes an un-needed actuation and severe nose down pitch without warning the pilots, who are well aware of what the plane is doing.
Having the "stick" snatched out of your hands by the computer without warning is a bad thing. The old stall warning on the 727 shook the stick a couple times before it forced it forward, along with a horn and the annoucement "stall". This system just rams the stick down. Nothing wrong with the idea, but the implementation is horrible, and not putting it in the training OR the flight manual is just flat criminal. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
