Thus, for us older pilots, a physical sensation, and tactile action, of GA has been removed. I appreciate that pilots who've flown only FBW will not miss anything, but I wonder if removing all these various sensations is in fact an improvement.
A B747-400 did a GA where, because of the pitch/power couple with a light aircraft is so pronounced, that they allowed the airspeed to deteriorate to such an extent that the aircraft was close to stalling. Had the GA altitude not been so low, causing the power to come off and assist in getting the nose down, the management team investigating the issue believe that the aircraft would have stalled.
Pilot mishandling for sure but another side of the coin.
