I didn't know it's possible using an unmodified airplane. My first thought was: wouldn't this maneuver simultaneously set off all the alarms bells in the cockpit, as if the plane is crashing to the ground? After a quick search on YouTube, it indeed does, but not really a big deal... > 2:43 - This parabolic manoeuvre isn't the normal kind of thing that you do in an Airbus, and the software in this plane hasn't been modified because to do so would be a huge effort to re-qualify it. With the normal software, you have the normal alarm saying, "This doesn't seem like a very good idea, guys," and one of the pilots that isn't too busy on the other two axes is turning off the alarms that we don't need to worry about and keeping track of the ones we might need to worry about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO_Ox_dH0M8 |
