era54 0 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Given that Airbus is so dependent on automation to fly ( perhaps more so than Boeing), can it be flown manually and land it safely in the event of complete computer malfunction using only back-up instruments? I'm interested to hear from real life Airbus pilots. Era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hello, sure it can. It got all kind of backups and if all else fails you still have a mechanical backup which you can use to steer the Airbus. If you want some more information about this google for an Airbus FCOM/FCTM and you can read up on it from the real documents. The keywords you're looking for are Alternate Law and Direct Law. This is a safety requirements which is necessary on all commercial aircraft in order to recieve certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
