Description Of Fly-By-Wire: (Flight Crew Training Manual A320)


1.The Fly-by-Wire was designed and certified the to render the
new generation of Aircraft
2. Even more safe, cost and effective, and pleasant to fly.

Basic Principles of the Fly-By-Wire:

The Flight Control Surfaces are all:
- Electrically-controlled, and
- Hydraulically-activated

- The Stabilizers and Rudder can be mechanically-controlled
- Pilots use sidestick to fly the aircraft in pitch and roll (and yaw indirectly, through turn coordinations)
- Computers Interpret pilot input and move the Flight Control surfaces, as necessary, to follow their orders.
- However, when in normal law, regardless of the pilot's input, the computers will prevent excessive maneuvers and exceedance of the
safe envelope in pitch and roll axis.
- However, as on coventional aircraft, the rudder has no such protection


GO AROUND IF:
1.Approach is not properly stabilized
2.Doubt about situation awareness
3.Malfunction
4.ATC changes the final approach clearance
5.Adequate visual cues not obtained at MDH or DH
6.Any GPWS/TCAS or Windshear alert occurs.


Consider Engine Damage If you Notice:

1.High Vibration prior to engine stopped, loud noise
2.Stall
3.Any Abnormal On Eng Page (N1, N2~0)




The Questions right now are the ff:

1.Did The Pilots Armed The Spoilers? or they forgot it?

2.When the Aircraft touches on the ground, did the engine suffers a FOD? due to excessive water and other contaminants coming in to the fan blades going to the compressor??? resulting the thrust reverser INOP?

3.Did the Engine Stop During/after the the aircraft touches the ground?
resulting the some hydraulics/electrical system to fail??

4.If the Spoilers deploy during touchdown??

5.Did The Computers take over the commands of the pilot?
