Ber - if it puts your mind a little at rest, do NOT assume that all those claiming to be 'Airbus pilots' actually are. There are a lot of Walter Mittys around here.
vilas - "Unless you know something basic about A320 you should not get into this." The problem Ber and I see is that this seems to apply to a lot of the 'Airbus qualified' contributors too.
Way back I recall someone calling for a simple 'big red button' that can be pressed when HAL goes beserk, putting direct control back to the pilot with NO 'clever' software in the way so that the machine can be flown as an aeroplane while whatever has gone tits up is 'inverted'. Certainly having to start switching off bits of electronics while the machine tries to bunt you to your death does not come over as very reassuring to many. As flexpwr says
"This is where a pilot comes in handy. If you are lucky enough to get sufficient time to identify the failure before getting into a nose dive and and exceed VD, turning off two ADRs...."
