Indeed. In fact I'd say that a far bigger issue is elements of both sides of an argument being unwilling to listen to and appreciate the arguments of the other side when it comes to opinion, then...

If you believe that, it's because you've only heard one side of the story. There was a pilot engineer group included at every stage of design and development (including, and later headed by D.P....

Honest question - what is your definition of "the Airbus way of flying"?

Judging by the evidence at hand, I'd say that accidents resulting from loss-of-control seem to be very much type-agnostic.

With the caveat that there are fewer T7s than A330/A340s even before one takes into account the number of A320 variants, and that Airbus sold their types in more territories with a marginal safety...

All - Regarding my mistake in terminology ("all-flying") and drag - thanks for the heads-up!



I was actually very careful to qualify my statement, which was "Autotrim is *not* automation in the...
