hi all!
at first, sorry for my totally outsiderhood, i'm "just" an aviation-fan - knowing a very little in flight deck-things.
after reading posts in this thread and the various news, press releases about this incident, some questions raised within my head.
1. why is this computer used / and all this weight-input into computers prior take-off? am i correct if i say that the aircraft takes off "automatically", with the help of all these computers? (of course said in a very vulgar-amateur way)
2. if yes, so it means that it's not the pilots who handle the throttle and so the performance of the engines? or am i wrong?
4. wouldn't be nice to remove some of the computers from the flight deck and let pilots fly the birds?
thanks in advance, i'm eager to answers!
