DOZY
Some of your posts give real insight into AB FBW design of flight controls. off course it takes a software expert like you to understand it so well. According to me since it was conceived in the 80s Airbus wanted to keep it simple to use like a calculator but in a dynamic environment it is very difficult to decide how much is too much or too little. Since every one is not a software expert it leaves certain areas which are not well understood or for that matter cannot be completely understood which gives rise to fear resulting in suspicion of the systems and lack of faith. That is what I see in numerous posts.I had flown B707, B747, A300, A310 before I flew the A320 and I did enjoy the FBW.
