Problems in a commercial flight

No, they cannot, except under ideal conditions, and sometimes not even then.

They do not have too. They only need to get the aircraft close enough
for wing dihedral to do the rest. Its called a dynamically stable
aircraft design, and its been a cornerstone of aviation almost since
its inception.

But what do I know, I only fly tiny planes.

My thoughts exactly.

That's funny, by your theory, stable flight was impossible until the
mid-80s...

Until Airbus came along.

Your pathetic ignorance continues to show. This one isn't even
related to your continual fantasy land.

Despite all the flight control systems in the fly-by-wire airbuses,
they still have positive stability. Now Boeing on the other hand
thought the 767 at first wasn't going to have positive pitch stability.
They spent a lot of time working with GE to develop active components
to control that. Fortunately as the design progressed it turned out
to not be necessary.

Further, it's not just fly by wire aircraft that have artificial
feel built in to them. Yes, in the case of FBW it's 100% artificial
but don't believe that a lot of time isn't spent on many aircraft to
get the control forces to feel right.

Until Airbus came along.

No... wrong again.

Airbii are statically stable for efficiencies sake, their control
mechanism is irrelevant.

Again, you know not of whence you speak....
