Autotrim OVERALL bad feature ?
No – Quote me please.
Autotrim should withdraw in case of known dubious data ?
Absolutely.
The guys did not trim in the 737 when they should have – Fair enough – Pretty sure they have learned the lesson and everybody smart enough to read their adventure will have also.
But what I like is the unambiguous rule : If manual flight trim is on you (the PF).
To the contrary on the Airbus confusion is around (Airplane talking) :
- If manual flight trim is on me
- Sometimes I won’t trim for you but I will advise
- But sometimes I may forget …
- Or some other times I will trim when I should not
- Or I won’t even if I should.
To my understanding one type of alternate law would not have trimmed further as the AoA reached a critical value, but the alternate law on which was AF447 just kept trimming … Go and figure ?
... how hard it is to deal on a conventional plane with stall situations
Perpignan and AF447 were not exactly conventional planes either …
CONF, you are becoming pathetic. Play the ball, not the man.
Play the ball, not the man ...
what I think too.
The man fully deserves that little extra and don’t worry he’s very much able to take it, but pathetic I am ... you may be right.
