Not having flown it; Would a 777 pilot want to put both hands on the yoke as soon as possible?
Is there a power/pitch couple on a 777 when manually flown?
Does 777 have auto pitch trim when in manual?
Does the 777 yoke stay where you put it if released, or would it return to trimmed attitude?
Both hands not required although the control forces are clearly greater than that of an Airbus sidestick.
On both the B777 and B787 there is no pitch/power couple, the Primary Flight Computers take care of that.
Pitch trim is manually applied and is slightly different in concept from other Boeings in that the aircraft is trimmed to a speed. When in trim and at that speed the aircraft will remain at whatever pitch atttude the pilot selects. If the speed increases or decays the aircraft will not be in trim.
