Here we go again...
Is there anything - literally *anything* that I can do or say not to have this argument all over again?
Just to reiterate:
- The computer does not make inputs the pilot does not ask for (it does not 'override' the pilot in that sense, never has). All it will do is attempt not to exceed a given bank angle
- There is no noticeable delay while the computer 'works out what to do' compared with hydraulic or even mechanical linkage.
- In the latest Boeings the yokes are not physically connected, they are backdriven
by the computer.
- In this case the CP (monitoring pilot) did as he was trained and hit the override switch before taking control, so the pilots knew *exactly* who was in control at any given time.
