Airbus went to great lengths to design their FBW system to fly like a normal airplane. But in reality, the FBW Bus's do NOT FLY LIKE NORMAL AIRCRAFT. Auto trim proves that point. The Bus trims for "G", and normal aircraft trim for speed.

Airbus, EASA, FAA, etc, could fix all our problems with flying these computer games with one simple directive; change the training syllabus to state the opposite of what it states at present. Change "it fly's like any other airplane", to " it fly's like NO other airplane"........and train accordingly. Every Airbus pilot should be exposed to degraded flight characteristics at every training event, in addition to all other required maneuvers.
