757 avionics

some questions if anyone knows the answers...

is 757 fly by wire or fly by cable?

The FMCS has full flight and landing capability, is it a separate control
system?

The FANS network, is it capable of directing "goto location/altitude" and
"set airspeed to K" type commands to the plane?

Is the yoke and throttle a completely separate control system from the
FMCS control system or are they common?

is the throttle control in cockpit only routed through FMCS ?

I read that the yoke was capable of exerting more power on the surfaces
than the FMCS could, essentially giving yoke priority, is that correct?
If so can you describe how that works?

A better question is...

Why should anyone answer the questions of a troll who asks the same
questions using different sock puppets?

Neither

It can autland but it's seperate from the flight controls. You can
disengage it anytime you like.
It fails passive, which means you can manually oer-ride any time you
want.

Doesn't have one

The stick will give more authority because the autopiot flies the
airplane in a more limited way than a pilot would. When it intercepts an
altitude, it does so smoothly with a limited G. A pilot can manuever the
airplane as abruptly as he likes, but of course, most do so just as
smoothly as the autopilot does.
Sometimes the autopilot isn't quite so smooth. If it gets "surprised" by
a track interception, for instance, it will be a bit jerky in roll, or
if it gets surprised by a pitch intercept it wasn't expecting and the
autothrottle gets a bit out of step it will pitch a bit harshly. Ridig
as a passenger this sort of thing is often felt in the back and mistaken
for hand flying.

Look in the conspirawhacko groups, especially right after 9-11..

alt.conspiracy in particular, but also all of the aviation groups.
There's volumes on whether a 757 could be flown remotely and volumes of
explanations on why it couldn't be.

Ahem... by no means the same question, and I can assure you I'm not
one of Ducky's sockpuppets. He looked up a wiki article on the 757
FMCS and decided it meant that the 757 was FBW.

The question as to whether the 757 is FBW or not certainly has been...
Why don't you ask them what diameter the turn Hanjour made was? Or try
and explain to them how it would have been impossible for him to have
flown it, even though you don't knwo what the diameter of the turn
was? Or how, if he had flown it, you feel he would have probably
entered a "graveyard turn" despite it being mid-morning on a CAVU
day?

And you looked up a wiki article on "graveyard turns" and stuck your head
up your ass for all time.
