I don't know.

However, I am approaching that point that Staplegun encountered when even the captains that you enjoy flying with start to piss you off so perhaps the time is nigh!

Come over to the dark side, Doug!

Feel the power of the dark side...

You would not recognize the ER category now if you saw the big package.

Plus we have a lot of "Wanna-be BMOC's" from other bases invading.

Good! Nothing like spreading misinformation based on....wait? what was the basis? Oh yeah, the stick was being moved alot :)

For the rest of the post, thanks for the lesson. But in my mind, having the airplane keep your previously set input, that would mean less control inputs required. But as you made perfectly clear, I've never been an airbus pilot.

If you set if and forget it you'll be reminded of where you left it. Just because you point it at the runway and on the glide doesn't mean it will stay there, it will still be affected by winds and shear and cg movement. It just keeps those elements in check by allowing the pilot to have a good reference point to fly from.
The airbus does alot of interesting stuff I suggest you get on one :)

Sounds a whole lot like trim...which the canadian space shuttle has. If it can be affected by shear and cg movement, what is the point of "set it and forget it?"

I know, I know... I've been watching it.

I can hold Captain on the NYC 7ER now but I'd be 24 from the bottom.

Maybe next year when my youngest goes off to college and I'm an "empty-nester" I'll consider commuting back to NYC. I'd probably be on reserve, though, or bottom line holder...

-_- Its active trim. THe point is to keep the pilot flying the plane. It is very user friendly. Maybe not as hands on as CRJ/ERJ's, but just as modern aircraft have advanced and are flying without the need for a flight engineer, the flight control theory of airbus from yoke A300/310's to sidestick airbii has advanced to keep pilot error to a minimum by allowing various systems to keep the aircraft flyable in most every condition.The plane will stay to the best of its ability at the attitude you set it for. Its modern technology. Smart trim, no need to do loooooong trim corrections on takeoff, no runaway trim, no unnecessary stalls/stall-like conditions.

How'd that work out for the Falcon 7X crew in Malaysia?

i dont know about Dassault, but i do know the 7x is their first sidestick aircraft. i dont knw what went wrong, but I do know that Lockheed Martin did fine with the F16, Airbus with their design, even the russians have it down pat (as fa as we know), its nothing so drastically complicated that takes years of designing and engineering. like i said boeing was the first to come out with such a control type on the older 737s. This is the nature of the plane, all the airbii are is years of aircraft ingenuity in design and control in one plane. its easy
