TP> KS>>American Airlines over in Tulsa that the A300 cannot be banked
 TP> over KS>>45 degrees without losing the AH display for several seconds.
 TP> KS>>Anyone ever hear of such a thing?
 TP> I work for the Airline who was the Launch Customer of the A300-600.
 TP> I have worked on this Simulator for this airline for 2 1/2 years. In
 TP> my experience the Primary Flight Display will loose some information.
 TP> But the Attitude Director (you call AH) will remain.
 Hi Tom...OK, that is what I assumed.
 TP> None the less, regardless of this, the Standby ADI is only a few
 TP> inches to the Right of the Primary Flight Display in the CP from the
 TP> Captains side.
 Which I assume is a regular independent gyro backup?
 TP> The information that is lost is:
 TP>     Airspeed, Radio Altitude, Flight Director, and FMA
 FMA?  That doesn't ring my bell...
 TP> The Airspeed information I am referring to is the digital/graphical
 TP> display in the PFD. The Airspeed Indicator immediately left of the PFD
 TP> is still valid all the time.
 Ah.  And is it a pitot/static driven indicator?
 TP> Also the Auto pilot will not direct the Aircraft into such an angle.
 TP> This can only be done in Manual Flight (Barring no malfunctions). ie
 TP> Eng out etc.
 That makes sense...does the a/p have CAS input?
 TP> I have listed the above information from Memory.  I will check
 TP> tomorrow and get back if any of what I stated is grossly incorrect.
 OK, thanks for the good info.
 TP> BTW I have a house in Tulsa,
 I'm from there, but now live on Ft. Gibson Lake 30 miles east.

 Karl
