Re: A320

The only way my instructor could force Dir Law left us with no roll control spoilers, slow ailerons, and resulted in an extremely unresponsive airplane.

FYI TTex & CONF:

1. A330 with only one SEC FCC available (other FCC pb's off):

One pair of roll control spoilers (depends on which SEC) and one set of ailerons

(During full SS roll input, down going aileron only deflects about ˝ way, the up going aileron goes full deflection.)


2. A330 in ALT2 roll direct as a result of triple ADR disagree (ALT2B?):

Two pair of roll control spoilers and one set of ailerons

(During full SS roll input, NEITHER aileron deflects as much as they do with only one SEC.)


It's no T-38, but 'responsiveness', it appears, is in the eye of the ‘respondee’.

Thank you guys for bringing this stuff up.
