from the Airbus 320 pilots I know is that u can disconnect the autopilot and fly it like a manual aircraft. Just like the heroes who landed on the Hudson. Any 320 pilots to back this belief up? Aircraft accidents are particularly complex to diagnose especially with modern day computer systems. Cockpit resource management is a must as input from both pilots(or 3) becomes very necessary and quickly as things can get out of hand quickly in order to prevent an accident.
