![]() Hell, the theroy is that Eastern Airlines flight 401 crashed because the Captain bumped the yoke while just turning to talk to the copilot and didn't know he had changed modes. *It happened. I cannot see how you wouldn't know the autopilot has been disconnected as there is a very loud audible warning when this occurs as well as a warning master switch above the PFD that the pilot cannot miss on 737/747 aircraft and I'm sure Airbus have it too Ibby |

![]() ----------------------------------------- Yeah, but you can't seem to see a lot of things, like reality for openers. I'm sorry but that is just a bloody stupid reply so please try to grow up this thread is full of childish etiquette. ANY real life commercial aircraft has a VERY LOUD audible ALARM when the Autopilot is disengaged (as well as a flashing red master caution switch) either via the control bar on the MCP panel, the switch on the yoke or by moving the control column excessively as in the case of an emergency. The entire crew on the flight deck WOULD hear it. My comments have NOTHING what so ever to do with using a flight sim they ARE based on what DOES happen in a 737 and 747 for a start and sure the same on any Airbus as well. Ibby |

This has NOTHING to do with MX, this has NOTHING to DO with Flight Sims, this HAS to do with WHAT DOES HAPPEN on a flightdeck. God man watch some videos, ask a real commercial pilot and stop bloody denouncing everything ppl say. Now I do not know what faults in the accident reported caused the pilot not to know the autopilot was disengaged but on the majority of aircraft from the past 15 years there is an ALARM. Even your basic Cessna's have an alarm when you disengage it and resume manual flight control. |

![]() No mater how many times you explain it, you still are not getting the point. My original 'point' was that I could not understand how a pilot could not know the AP was disconnected based on what is fitted to the majority of current aircraft. Now I know that this particular Russian Airbus did NOT have an alarm but that does NOT give you the right to argue other aircraft also have NO system of alarm just because ***I*** said it. I dont have to be a commercial pilot to be aware of this the same as I don't have to be Neil Armstrong and step onto the surface of the moon to 'know' it's not made out of cheese. Awareness and knowledge (to a some degree) can be acquired solely from the written word, videos and from real pilots of the particular aircraft you are studying otherwise why have flight manuals, why have detailed manuals about a particular aircraft when according to you the ONLY accurate and entirely formidible 'training' MUST be done on a real flightdeck. There is a cross over of this type of learning for real pilots amongst ANY other profession - Theory/Practicle |

Most everyone is annoyed by a self-proclaimed aviation expert who's credentials consist of playing games and reading Internet articles about aviation. That the self-proclaimed aviation expert also has a bad case of tunnel vision and the social skills of a 8 year old doesn't help the situation. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
