I am not so sure about that. Might want to read about the French Scarebus Fly by Wire (FBW) system. Flight Control Laws;
Normal Law (ground mode) (flight mode) (flare mode). Alternate Law 1, Alternate Law 2, Direct Law, Mechanical Law. Then breeze over to Airliners.net and read the huge thread "Last 4 Minutes of Air France 447. A lot of Air Line Jet Capts are involved in the discussion. My self, I would rather fly on older air frames where the pilot has Absolute
Control Authority (absolute).
Now back to Fly By Wire Power Wagons
