Airbus A320 General Familiarization Pdf Site

Instead of a traditional control yoke, the A320 uses side-stick controllers located on the outboard consoles of the captain and first officer. Because the sticks are not mechanically linked, they use electronic signals to send inputs to the flight computers. The "Quiet Cockpit" Concept

Powered by the Yellow hydraulic system automatically if Green system pressure fails.

Pilots control the pitch and roll of the aircraft via side-stick controllers located on the lateral consoles (left side for the Captain, right side for the First Officer). Unlike conventional mechanical linkages, these sticks transmit electronic signals to the flight control computers. The side-sticks do not have mechanical cross-coupling; instead, inputs are electronically combined if both pilots move their sticks simultaneously.
