On Airbus FBW types, I often see the stick stirring commencing as soon as the AP is disconnected regardless of what the air around the aircraft is doing.
Pilots in type rating on to Airbus initially do that trying to get a feel but that is not going to happen. On Air bus sidestick out of nuetral is a demand to the computer to bank or pitch. Do it only when you want the aircraft to do that. Otherwise you are destabilzing the flight path and then correcting it.This needs to be taught in simulator by frequent intervention to tell them to let go of the sidestick otherwise it gets carried in the aircraft.
