It may have escaped your attention but FBW accident rates are pretty impressive.
Systems reliability has improved with better technology for all aircraft manufacturers.Thats all.Nothing to do with the Airbus interface design/philosophy.
Older aircraft have suffered the same fate
Of course.The pilots are the same.They dont change.Some are good,most are average, some are below average.
RetiredF4 hit the nail on the head.
Invent something new instead of those with the same or even improved feedback results, and we won´t be back in stone age, but hopefully in a more safer future.
No,he did not hit the nail on the head.All commercial airliners are 2 man crew last time I checked.What better feedback is there than a great big control wheel beween your legs?Dont try to reinvent the wheel.It works and it works well.
It is going that way whether you like it or not because flying is fundamentally safer with more automation.
Did you read the report?Is it you that doesnt understand whats been going on in the last 20 years?They couldnt fly the plane.They were automation-dependent and that dependence was condoned by both manufacturer and airline.
