The discussion on the AMS bad weather threads have got me thinking. How do the Boeing and a Airbus FBW types handle in gusty conditions? Does the FBW pick up a dropped wing for you?
Not a trainer or a TP so going out on a limb here but as far as the Boeing (777) is concerned, no, it won't pick up a dropped wing...leaving aside extreme situations where envelope protection might be a player to all intents and purposes to the end user in a cross wind landing it behaves the same way the "old fashioned" types did...which I like....
