Hi BOAC

[QUOTE][- this is quite frightening! Are you guys seriously telling us that there is no quick, easy button press to allow back side-stick to raise the elevator and you have to go groping around on the overhead pushing buttons? /QUOTE]

My short time on the A320 would seem to suggest this is the case. You would be trying to 'boot' your bus into the equivilant of windows 'safe mode' whilst in a jet upset with numerous hooters and wailers sounding, visual warnings trying to grab your attention and numerous checklists appearing on the ECAM (the bus equivilent of EICAS) only to be rplaced by further checklists.

Good init!

Hope you are well BOAC
