I know that alot of the newer Airbus jets have many protections built into the flight control software like overbank protection and stall protection. However, some of those same protections have been major contributing factors in a couple accidents as it "protected" the airplane right into the ground.<br>
Computers aren't scared of crashing.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 10:54 PM, Ron Van Putte <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vanputte@cox.net">vanputte@cox.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
That's a lot truer than most pilots would like to admit. My daughter and her husband work on software for the "big jets" and they told me about some seemingly unlikely things that are possible with the flight control systems an the "big jets" these days. Who needs a pilot?<br>

Hmmmmm - "paycheck" thing. Oh yeah, that's what they give you when<br>
you perform work. I'd almost forgotten that, since I've been retired<br>
for more than 13 years. Yes, wives tend to get tense about that<br>
"paycheck" thing.<br>

My wife has gotten used to the "paycheck" thing. I gotta figure out<br>
how RVP and Fuqua get around that one.<br>

Would it be too much hassle to ask you guys to move the contest up to the Long Island area? I'll be laying over in Garden City on Saturday. Sunday y'all could move back down to Jacksonville. . . Oh yeah, and I'll need someone to bring my plane up there, also. .<br>
