PJ2 However, in two Flight Crew Training Manuals examined, fuel transfer is mentioned. It is stated that the handling characteristics of FBW aircraft are independent of the CG in Normal and Alternate Laws and it is not necessary to command a FWD fuel transfer in the event of heavy turbulence in cruise.
HarryMann, Tubby Linton, PJ2 for my this "independent declaration" is one of the WHY´s to AB,
why AB means that FBW did not longer need more stability in turbulence ??? what has changed between 1988 and 1997 ???
neither the basic aerodynamic of the sky nor the basic concept of the wing (profile) is quite different between an A300-600R and an A330-200 (both with trim tank)
