U.S. Air Aborted Takeoff PHL

I would like to thank @BobDDuck for asking the questions that prove reason 7,045,743, why Boeing is superior to Airbus.

On the Boeing, pull back on the yoke, houses get smaller, push forward, houses get bigger.

No guessing what phase of flight the Airbus is in and figuring out why it is in that phase or what you should be doing to get it in a phase or out of a phase.

Where's the 'yawn' emoticon??? :rolleyes: Rolling of the eyes will have to cover it for now.




:p

Have you flown an Airbus?

"Shortly after takeoff" - which is condescending French engineer for "that's not really that important, pilot, pay attention to the shiny pictures." ;)

But yes, you have direct (as in, the movement of the stick is proportional to the deflection of the surface) control of the flight controls on the ground; the load factor order/roll rate order is purely a Normal Law, not-on-ground thing. The transition happens "shortly after takeoff" - with full pitch control transition to normal law taking "about" five seconds. (Roll control is quicker to transition.)

With respect to what @BobDDuck asked, the long A340s (-600) do have a pitch protection, both in terms of an addition to the crew's pitch order and displaying a limit indicator below 400' RA. The thing will holler "PITCH - PITCH" below 14' RA on approach and landing, too, if the pitch attitude becomes excessive; a pitch demand is also added based on rotation rate to help prevent a tailstrike. I don't think there's a similar "derp prevention" feature on the shorter busses, but it's been a long while since my software engineering and human interface classes.

Just out of curiosity, why do you know that?

Is this a serious post? If it is, maybe you left [previous company] a little too soon to make those comments against the Airbus. Hand-flying the Airbus, pull back on the sidestick, houses get smaller, push forward, houses get bigger.
 
Seggy said:
Yep!
Nah, the Boeing is superior.
Pretty sure this guy was pulling back on the sidestick...

That Airbus at Mulhouse did the same thing a B737 would have done at the same altitude, attitude, heading (towards the trees!), and airspeed.

I'm sure they both have their plusses and minuses, but not enough to outright dismiss it as an "piece of crap."

I find the Boeing automation to be MUCH more intuitive and user friendly.

After executing in the FMS don't you have to push LNAV to activate navigation? In the Airbus, a Direct to execution automatically triggers Heading to NAV mode. Reason #1,253 Airbus is better ;)
