Hi DozyWannabe,
there's no guarantee that the outcome would have been any better with yoked controls
Well I'm afraid we'll have to disagree on that one.
On the TriStar, operating to Bermuda with strong crosswinds and only Island Holding fuel, we would sometimes have to land in limiting crosswinds. If we attempted to align fully with the runway using rudder, we could feel when we were about to run out of aileron control (by the position of the yoke), so we would have to relax the rudder slightly and accept touching down with more drift.
(& full aileron control was available on the ground, even above 70 kts)
None of that feed back is available with Airbus FBW.
there shouldn't have been a DUAL INPUT situation in the first place.
The fact that they got reduced aileron control on landing was not due to DUAL INPUT - it's simply a function of "on ground" mode.
