Hi Machinbird,
Doesn't matter whether you are supplying the force to move the whole control surface, or just the force to move the input arm on a hydraulic control valve. That movement is feedback.
I agree.
The familiar feel of the control surface displacement with control yoke (or side stick) is completely absent on AI FBW. e.g. If you take off with a strong crosswind, the aircraft may roll rapidly shortly after lift off unless you make a roll input. That roll input could be tiny - but the control surface deflection would be large to satisfy the commanded roll direction. So if we have no idea how much the control surfaces are moving in response to the side stick inputs we are making, we have no way of knowing when we are getting close to control surface saturation (max deflection) - (unless we display the Flt/Ctrl systems page).
The crew probably never "felt" the stall - they only observed the effects of it then remained in denial and disbelief.
Q. How many Airbus crew have actually taken the simulator to the stall buffet in ALT LAW? (before AF 447).
How many of you have taken your conventional aircraft simulator beyond the stick shaker to the buffet?
Is the difference because it wasn't a requirement due to the low probability?
