Both of you asked the same question no less than 2 hours apart. Are you a liar or just to dumb to read his post? Either you're a sockpuppet or you're his designated ****** for the day. I'm not sure which is worse really. |

And you looked up a wiki article on "graveyard turns" and stuck your head up your ass for all time. Bertie Quite possibly. But it still strikes me as unlikely that one coudl get into a situation whereby one was convinced one was in level flight whilst in a turn if they could see the horizon.. |

FriarTuck wrote : some questions if anyone knows the answers... is 757 fly by wire or fly by cable? Neither The FMCS has full flight and landing capability, is it a separate control system? 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. The FANS network, is it capable of directing "goto location/altitude" and "set airspeed to K" type commands to the plane? Doesn't have one Is the yoke and throttle a completely separate control system from the FMCS control system or are they common? seperate is the throttle control in cockpit only routed through FMCS ? No 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? 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. Bertie Thankyou. Very informative. At the risk of filling your forum with kookery - Speaking as someone who seems to have experienced these things, do you think that, once getting in the general area using the autopilot, Hani Hanjour (or even Friar Tuck or myself - a low hours, head-up-arse PPL) could have performed a 360 degree turn, pointed it at the Pentagon, and smacked into it? |

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? K00k alert! Bertie Absolutely... |
