Re: Unlike Airbus, Boeing lets aviator override fly-by-wire
You may WANT that, but the statistics prove that pilots usually do the wrong thing.
Why, exactly, do you want to be able to pull the wings off an airplane? Why do you want to be able to exceed the aircraft's design capabilities? How much aerobatics have you flown?
To me, I am more concerned that I can't overboost the engines due to FADEC, as a windshear or GPWS escape is FAR more likely than needing to intentionally roll inverted!
Well I apologize for perpetuating a myth, it happens to all of us now and again.
My stance doesn't change though... all the computerized assistance you can pack in but it needs to have a manual mode for when things assume a heading of 180.
