A320 -Stall
Having just flown for a few times the A320 on the sim , I have one question for an instructor/test pilot on the Bus:
In case of a failure that will invalidate the speed data , for ex the pitot system blocked, what would happen if the speed slows too much?
I was discusing the Air France accident with an instructor on the A320, from our company, and he said that you cannot stall an airbus.
But ,in my oppinion , if the plane knows a 'wrong' speed, then how will prevent it from stalling?
My friend said that the plane will start descending in a controlled fashion, and you can do 15 deg bank turns...like normal flight.
I've did some test flights on the 737,even stalls, and I think that whatever the plane is, it should follow the aerodynamics laws.
How will the computers help on an A320 if they don't have the speed info?
We had one event with unreliable speed, just prior landing , and the pilot flew pitch/power...all ok. What would've happened if he would've add no thrust?
