How does the fly by wire system on the 777 work in a crosswind? Can you sideslip with cross control like a conventional aircraft or does a aileron input on the yoke just command a given roll rate.so that you have to neutrelaze the yoke once the give bank angle is achived?
And what is the normal way of doing it? I have seen both crab and wing low,but not sure what is the normal way of doing it.
Well i'm current on the B737 NG.
However i have some hours on the t7.
It behaves like any other Boeing, most of the time.
Went back to regional flights because my body watch coldn't deal with long haul flights.
Yeah it's FBW, but so what, the pilot still have control.
