ELAC Put on your RayBans and read my hostile question re: AirBus, the a/c that is fully automated, almost flies itself, recommends no one touch the a/p in turbulence, but as it deftly maneuvers through hostile weather, it quits when it can't take the level of weather/dataloss/ etc. and drops it back in the laps of the pilots it generally disdains, but thinks nothing of quitting when the 's' hits N1. This with an automatic penalty in controllability, to wit, cancel roll, no protex, stab trim only, and 8 degrees of Rudder travel, still enough if cycled to rip off the VS. ????
