Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2019 11:17 am
Land in Paro with Concorde ? Or with 747 ? Fairy tale for bad children ! Let's push A320 to the limits. Into the Grand Canyon !
Canyon entrance :
Piece of the cake, valley is nice wide :
After some minutes new situation :
Spectacular scenery :
Flight envelope protection in the action, switching to direct law, I need full control, no silicon brain actions :
Leaving canyon, fuel is dangerously low :
Final approach to KPGA
Landed almost on fuel vapours :
Conclusion :
FBW steering is absolutly precisely, but flight computers 4 times activated TOGA mode, this action was very dangerous in narrow valley.
