A330 v A320
In the A320 there are the FACS - among other things they perform characteristic speed computation -


In the A330 - the SECs provide this function but the SECs in an A330 are secondary computers whereas in the A320 the SEC is the Spoiler and Elevator Computer.


There are, in the A330, 3 PRIMS for Normal, Alternate and Direct control laws.


I thought most Airbuses are supposed to be the same?


Given the differences - what would the PRIMS be in the A320, if the A320 had PRIMs [ which they don`t have] (that was for the Pickier members) - ? Would they be the FACs, ELACs and the SECs? I am trying to find a sameness here.


Thank you for your time. I know many of you have moved to the A330 from the A320 - and as you guys can gather; I am on page one.
--and they have stuck the RAT on the Green (330) instead of the Blue (320) well standard then?
