AU-501

The T7 is fully FBW, with three different modes, from full blown "normal" mode with the likes of envelope protection through the more basic "secondary" down to "direct" where you get rid of the computers and are signalling the actuators directly but still electronically from the flight deck controls. There is also a very limited manual "backup" capability to some of it's control surfaces.
