He found it hard to believe that the pilot would pull up. <br /><br />The Airbus is fly by wire which means that when you move the stick, it sends a signal to software which actually sends the signal to move the control surfaces. <br /><br />Suppose the software had been corrupted? Suppose the pilot was pushing the stick forward and the software was saying "No, you don't know what you are doing, I'm going to pitch the nose up."<br /><br />If that happened, there would probably be no way to ever know.<br /><br />I am not clear if it is the case with the Airbus or even if it is still true at all but Curry also said that some fly by wire systems use Windows NT. <br /><br />Now there is an encouraging thought.<br /><br />John HenryJohn R Henryhttp://www.changeover.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-87540832484512851362011-06-06T11:36:49.407-04:002011-06-06T11:36:49.407-04:00I met an Air India *pilot* at a party about 15 yea...I met an Air India *pilot* at a party about 15 years ago. For the most part, they were not allowed to fly the planes — the autopilot was regarded as safer and more dependable. He tended to support the idea that this made him a not-so-good pilot if there was ever a problem.Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-77105247400018933842011-06-06T10:51:37.799-04:002011-06-06T10:51:37.799-04:00Hello,

I cannot imagine ANY pilot willingly pitch up the nose. <br />We dont k ow yet why the pitch trim wildly (uncommendedly) went from 3 to 13'?<br />We do not know wether it's the flight computer that 'orders' or flies itself the pitch-up because it believes to be in an overspeed situation. ?<br /><br />I bet Airbus does not want to discuss those points especially before leBourget airshow. <br /><br />I unfortunately believe that our fellow pilots tried their best, till the very end, in a situation that was probably not recoverable. And THAT situation was directly created by the loss of airspeed indications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-41350206459056581392011-06-06T10:20:25.562-04:002011-06-06T10:20:25.562-04:00There is an interesting letter to AVWeb here (scro...There is an interesting letter to AVWeb <a href="http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1925-full.html#204773" rel="nofollow">here</a> (scroll down to the AVmail section) from an A-330 captain that talks about how difficult this particular scenario really is.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785461831011967542noreply@blogger.com
