Every aircraft is a compromise in some way.
Airbus didn't have the technology to have interconnected sidesticks in 1980s when A320 was developed, but Gulfstream has proven the technology is here today. So why does a training captain on the state-of-the-art A350 have to shift their view almost 90 degrees left/right and slightly down to see what inputs the student is making with their sidestick? Surely it has nothing to do with
compromise and type rating/CCQ
fleet commonality?
