(I've read your post very carefully)
You should really watch your blood pressure! and yes I do know how close "1.6 ft" is.
Let's not get into the AI versus Boeing nonsense(it's been covered and what are they going to do?take all A320 a/c out of service)
I simply made the point that the design of the fbw is such that the f/o was able to split the stick and thus recover the a/c.Now I would imagine that this is a simple statement to understand.The fbw saved them,it would appear mtx let them down.
Are you suggesting that it is better to find yourself at the controls of a Boeing or Cessna after such an alleged mtx release?
A flight control is a flight control and it does'nt care if it is bolted to an AI or a boeing.It does exactly what it says on the tin.
Case One, When exactly do you do your walkround?
