INTRODUCTION
An aircraft is a machine that has the ability to fly by gaining support from air or
atmosphere in the planet Earth. The ability to fly needs certain mechanism. This mechanism is
not just for flying but to control the aircraft during flight. This is known as aircraft flight
control. Generally the aircraft flight control can be classified into three groups; the aircraft
primary flight control, the aircraft secondary flight control and the aircraft auxiliary flight
control. Below are the summary;

AIRBUS A320
Airbus launched its single-aisle product line with
the A320, which continues to set industry
standards for comfort and operating economy on
short- to medium-haul routes. Typically seating
150 passengers in a two-class cabin or up to 180
in a high-density layout for low-cost and charter
flights the A320 is in widespread service around
the globe on services that vary from short
commuter sectors in Europe, Asia and elsewhere to
Trans-continental flights across the United States.1 The Airbus A320 is fitted with a fly-by-wire
flight control system. This means that the mechanical linkage between control column and
control surface has been replaced by electrical wires. Just like the Boeing 737, the Airbus A320
flight controls are divided into primary and secondary flight controls. Both the primary and
secondary flight controls are controlled by a total of 7 computers. 2
