Hard or Soft Limit Protections?
There was a thread this week about preference of Yolk vs Side Stick - which really comes down to Boeing and Airbus discussion. It got me thinking -
Which do you all prefer with regards to Protections in the FBW system? The "yolk/Boeing" system uses soft protections with limits that can be over ridden by the pilot. The "side stick/Airbus" uses hard limits which are firm and not (in normal law) designed to be superceeded by the pilot. Which is preferred? This seems like a more important or at least equally important discussion to the differences regarding comfort of the two systems.
