Hello everyone, this is my first post here, and i hope i got the right topic for this.

As seen recently in the news, there is a discussion about the un-overridable fly-by-wire technology in the Airbuses, compared to the overridable tech in the Boeing planes.

Now, most of you have a lot more experience in this topic than me, which is exactly why i am asking here.

Please correct me if i am wrong, but if i remember correctly, Airbus planes had (i think it was) three switches to disable all the flight support computers on board and override them manually.

Or am i really wrong on this one?

I'm just asking out of pure interest, would be glad if someone could help me with that issue
