most dangerous thing about A320 family...

Hi there,

In my view, the most dangerous thing about airbus family (fly-by-wire ones) is "taking over the controls closer to ground"... it is a tough art.. suppose your first officer is PF and during takeoff, he rotates early and fast increasing the chances of a tail strike.. now you have to takeover the control and if you don't press the red button first, you will screw it up further... similarly while landing, if the fellow does not flare or pulls the stick back too much, would the capt be able to press the red button in a fraction of a second and control.. I think it would be art to master...


cheers...
