Airbus Control technique
Regarding the above discussion about the 2 types of control inputs made on the stick by airbus pilots (1. Applying the appropriate pressure for the appropriate aircraft response 2. short pulsing movements). My interpretation of this is if a pilot has been using the “pulse” method in normal law and the system degrades to alt law he has to change his input method. This pilot may have been pulsing the side stick for thousands of hours and one dark stormy night he gets into alt law and along with handling all the issues that caused the law reversion he also has to change the way he controls the plane.
I really think the designers of this system could of been a bit kinder to the pilots.
