Airbus Flight Control Laws:

1. Pull back - it might go up.

2. Push forward - it might go down.

3. It all depends on the speed!

Forgive me but im fascinated with the 'buses' and would like to fly one one day. Can someone please explain or give me a link as to where i can find out about these laws and what they are?

Hi again!

Hi,

For those interested, please check this out for more info on the 'bus.

www.airbusdriver.net

It's geared to USAirways operation, but in contains a tremendous amount of info.

Bye.

And also have a look at www.wingfiles.com The tech overviews for all the Airbus FBW types are there.

Flying the Airbus in direct law is like flying a Bell 47 Helicopter-unstable and skittish as a long-tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. If you don't believe me go ahead and turn off both FAC's and give it a try! The airframe design has no inherent stability without computer assistance.

Despite all the wonderful protections that the bus has, it is possible to overcome them all if a suicidal pilot wished to. Just push the stick forward and hold it at full fwd and see what happens - in the sim of course!

In DCT LAW it flies just like any other aircraft - it just feels a bit odd because you're doing it with a side stick rather than a tractor steering wheel.

YES. Just turn off a couple of things and push (or pull) till you drop!
