Just curious, full electrical failure, no batt or gen power...can the Airbus be flown?
the airplane will fly in mechanical backup, that is mechanical control of THS via the trim wheel, mechanical control of the rudder
@ I-2021

We still need Hyd actuators to move the surfaces (G/Y for THS and G/Y/B for Rudders). This is unlikely in this scenario. However, if you have Hyds going, the Bus can be flown. I actually managed to "get her down" on one of the two occasions attempted during sims.
