It's not the FBW system that is causing grief, it is the Computer override. A Boeing pilot knows that he can always take over and fly the airplane. A Bus driver cannot;ever.
In the circumstances described with the low level wind shear, I thought that the airplane would recover to the programmed descent profile by itself? For example if a wing drops the pilot need not react since the wing will come back by itself under computer control? Similarly the pitch/rate of descent? If not, what is the point of the design?
And another question please: What are the wind limits for landing and takeoff; crosswind and total wind. Are they different for an auto land (ILS)?
