The Cirrus SR series, F-16, Dassault Rafale and F-22.
Does "any other plane" allow left SS to fight with right SS and then allow the subsequent warning to be drowned in a cacaphony of sensory overload?
The procedure in such a situation is to hold the sidestick override switch down, which will lock out the opposite side.
Does "any other plane" remove it's pilot from awareness of its trimmed condition?
The FBW Airbus pilot can see the trim condition by looking down at the inboard trim wheel, just like any other airliner.
Does "any other plane" trim for gee or flight path vs speed?
Plenty - it's been standard practice in fighters for decades.
Does "any other plane" remove power awareness from its pilot with its non moving power levers?
You can see the power settings by looking at the "donuts" on the centre MFD - you know this!
(And opinion aside, moving thrust levers did not help the crew of Turkish 1951 or SAS 751)
Is any other plane" flown differently depending upon its flight control computer abilities? When I say "flown" I speak of the physical, tactile motor skills required to control an aeroplane.
Yes - the B777 and B787 for starters.
How many other planes deny their pilots the ability to slip into a crosswind on landing?
Please elaborate!
(and in the meantime, a couple of threads on "slipping" the A320)
