Karl,
KS>>he claimed to have been told by someof his friends who work for
KS>>American Airlines over in Tulsa that the A300 cannot be banked over
KS>>45 degrees without losing the AH display for several seconds.
KS>>Anyone ever hear of such a thing?
I work for the Airline who was the Launch Customer of the A300-600.
I have worked on this Simulator for this airline for 2 1/2 years. In my
experience the Primary Flight Display will loose some information. But the
Attitude Director (you call AH) will remain.
None the less, regardless of this, the Standby ADI is only a few inches to
the Right of the Primary Flight Display in the CP from the Captains side.
The information that is lost is:
    Airspeed, Radio Altitude, Flight Director, and FMA
The Airspeed information I am referring to is the digital/graphical display
in the PFD. The Airspeed Indicator immediately left of the PFD is still
valid all the time.
Also the Auto pilot will not direct the Aircraft into such an angle. This
can only be done in Manual Flight (Barring no malfunctions). ie Eng out
etc.
I have listed the above information from Memory.  I will check tomorrow and
get back if any of what I stated is grossly incorrect.
BTW I have a house in Tulsa,
