Airbus Vertical Speed Indicators (VSI) primarily use a blended "baro-inertial" system to display precise vertical speed, combining responsive inertial data from the Inertial Reference System (IRS) with long-term stable barometric pressure data. The inertial signal is used for dynamic maneuvers and air data for stability over time. This hybrid approach provides rapid responsiveness to pitch changes while maintaining accuracy, reducing errors inherent in using either system alone. Local airflow disruptions (such as turbulence or unsteady wind) can momentarily alter the static pressure, causing the VSI to show unsteadiness or oscillations even when the aircraft is on the ground.

Following the Airbus A320 emergency airworthiness action, everyone will be talking about the ELAC (Elevator Aileron Computer) manufactured by Thales, which caused a sudden pitch-down without pilot input on JetBlue 1230 back in October. So here’s everything you need to know about ELAC. The ELAC System in the Airbus A320: The Brains Behind Pitch and Roll Control At the heart of the sophisticated fly-by-wire flight control system of the Airbus A320 lies the ELAC (Elevator Aileron Computer). This crucial component acts as one of the primary computational units that translate pilot commands into precise movements of the aircraft’s fundamental control surfaces: the elevators and the ailerons. ELAC plays a pivotal role in ensuring the aircraft’s stability and enabling smooth, safe, and efficient flight. What is ELAC? ELAC stands for Elevator Aileron Computer. On the A320, there are two main ELAC computers—ELAC 1 and ELAC 2—which operate together as essential elements of the aircraft’s fly-by-wire architecture. This system relies on electrical signals, rather than traditional mechanical cables, to transmit control inputs from the cockpit to the flight control surfaces. Key Functions of the ELAC System: Elevator Control: The elevators are control surfaces located on the horizontal tailplane of the aircraft. They govern movement around the lateral axis (pitch), determining whether the aircraft ascends or descends. ELAC receives signals from the pilot’s sidestick and translates them into precise commands to move the elevators, achieving the desired pitch attitude. Aileron Control: Ailerons are control surfaces situated on the trailing edge of the wings. They manage movement around the longitudinal axis (roll), controlling the aircraft’s banking to the left or right. The ELAC processes pilot inputs and moves the ailerons to achieve the intended bank angle. Implementing Flight Control Laws: One of ELAC’s most critical responsibilities is enforcing the pre-programmed flight control laws embedded within the Airbus computers. These laws ensure the aircraft responds to pilot commands in a calculated and safe manner, providing protection against maneuvers that could exceed operational limits (such as overspeed or critical angles of attack). Fault Monitoring and Redundancy: The ELAC system includes a high degree of redundancy to ensure safety. If one ELAC computer malfunctions, the other can seamlessly take over. ELAC also continuously monitors the performance of control surfaces and associated systems, issuing warnings to the crew if any anomalies are detected. ELAC 1 and ELAC 2: Distribution and Responsibility ELAC 1: Primarily controls the ailerons and certain elevator functions, especially those relying on the blue hydraulic system. ELAC 2: Primarily controls the elevators and the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS), utilizing the green and yellow hydraulic systems.

Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX. The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.” Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions. Boeing is expected to demonstrate that the switch will not move unless physically operated by a human. The outcome of the tests could play a major role in determining whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or human interaction.

A flexible composite airfoil is an advanced wing design that can physically change its shape depending on the aircraft's angle of attack-the angle between the wing and the oncoming air. Unlike traditional rigid wings, these airfoils are built using lightweight composite materials that can bend and adapt in real time. As the angle of attack increases, the wing subtly reshapes itself to maintain smoother airflow, improve lift, and reduce drag. This concept is inspired by nature-similar to how birds adjust their wings during flight for maximum efficiency and control.

A passenger aboard United Airlines Boeing 787-9 flight UA2 from Singapore to San Francisco posted a video showing water leaking from an air grille. The passenger alerted a flight attendant, who then notified the flight crew. According to the passenger, the pilots came to inspect the issue and appeared visibly puzzled before calling in maintenance personnel. Passengers were escorted back to the terminal while maintenance checked it. Ultimately, the 15-hour flight was canceled. My take: Singapore's extremely humid climate means the water could have been the result of air-conditioning condensation or a leak from a water line. It's a lot easier to fix these things on the ground because maintenance is never done in the air. 📹: u/Xycergy
