How's your itch TBT? I don't know the answers to your questions, but suspect they can be generally covered by the OMG syndrome. He motors his seat forward to adopt the correct position that he should have been at all along, only for the nose to pitch sharply down and various alarms simultaneously set off. Perhaps some would have been more alert and quickly realised that the side stick itself felt wrong, while others are merely satisfied with casting the first stone. Whatever the answer to your itch, the accident was already being enacted. Better to have not perpetrated it in the first place, ie stay at the controls, and if you have to take some snaps, sorry pictures, wait for the co to return then hand control over to him. When you've finished taking them return the camera to your Flight Bag. Whatever you do don't place it on the Side Stick ledge, which will hopefully be clearly marked to dissuade you from placing
anything there.
I'm pretty certain the defendant would ruefully agree with all that. N
ow just a case of convincing others...
