Hey guys, a bit of an old thread but here goes .


Artificial feel unit simulates the air pressure loads on the yoke so the pilot does not end up over controlling the aircraft ,as powered flying controls are not back driven .

Does this apply to FBW as well ? ( A320 ) because from my understanding the FBW systems have flight envelop protections so there is no fear of over controlling the aircraft . you can have a simple spring centered yoke/stick and call it a day .

If that indeed is the case then how is it handled when the protections are lost ?

SO in short , does the A320 have an artificial feel unit or q feel ?

I am sure the 737 has this .
