Thank goodness "Maverick" and "Goose" got out. Nasty wounds though
My knowlage of the Hornets fly-by-wire system is nil but I have sat through lectures on the A320 and 777 systems. What strikes me as odd is that the system went straight to manual and missed out any degraded steps. Anybody know the Hornet's FBW system?
Also have they said if the engines were running after the tail slide?
