The flap handle is in the wrong place on the Airbus. It is not in the peripheral vision of the pilot flying.
Oh yeah, as opposed to the design that requires PF to take their hand of the thrust levers so that PM can reach awkwardly around the binnacle to get at the flap lever and try to move it accurately to one of about 40 settings. Or does Boeing still work on the assumption that the pilot in the right hand seat never actually flies the aircraft?
