Sounds like we're talking 45-90 degree deck angle down. Yet they only lost 600 or so feet? That does definately not add up. Not to poo poo it by any means, but it sounds like however bad it was, some victim amplifying amberlamps chasing megalomaniacs are on the case for sure.

I've never flown an Airbus, but I've heard there are some phases of flight where you can't disconnect the computer and fly manually. I don't think I would like that.

you can fly manually anytime you want. Theres some protections that will save you from doing something stupid and if just about everything fails then you'll be very limited on your controls but you're talking about something going very very wrong.

Yep, there is different software laws for given events. It is fly by wire so truly it is always a computer flying, same as a 787 and 777.

Hmmm, my airplane is fly-by-wires and has lots of computer software, just none of them talk to each other. Maybe thats the problem, too much communication. Just like with a marriage or CRM the more you talk the more people don't like you and then someone gets a little "pitch sensitive."
Well, think about it.
Here is the article and blackbox video to a 777 ap mechanical bull incident:

You know what would be nice in ATL? If during all of this twy M construction is if they had paved over all the grass between taxiways like DFW and even the south ramp side taxiways in EWR. Just a thought that I wish all busy hub airports would do for maximum flexibility.

(still LOLing @ the committee of pilots who supposedly nixed the sidestick on the 777, 787, etc).
