A320 Mechanical back up
More Conjecture! Lets let the Aircraft accident investigators do their jobs, please.
I hope the sub finds the black box soon.
Anengineer, it appears you do not know or understand the A320, so please do not write bull.
The A320 has mechanical back up.
Speaking hypothetically of the A320
Also, You can also put the aircraft into a emergency electrical configuration, with the RAT, powering the electrical system, independantly, and the A320 is flyable in this condition providing you can see through the smoke to the instruments. If you go into the emergency electrical configuration, powering the RAT, you have isolated the electrical system.
¨As you say, pure flw, with no mechanical backup.and the a/c cannot fly at all without the electronics.¨
A320 MECHANICAL BACK UP
PITCH
Mechanical backup enables the pilot to control the aircraft during a temporary complete loss of electrical power.
He does this in pitch by manually applying trim to the THS.
The PFDs display “MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY” in red.
LATERAL
The pilot uses the rudder pedals as the mechanical backup to laterally control the aircraft .
