I just wonder … about operating the wrong lever in the first place …
If you look at the interesting video of Magnar in detail … his explanation goes in slow deliberate steps … this gives the pilot time to feel the shape of the knobs, which is a possible muscle memory trigger …
both CL’s as a pair and the single flap lever … both require a liftup/pull action, but a bit different,… again Magnar here shows relatively slow deliberate actions adding possible muscle memory triggers…
question that i now have (for ATR pilots) … how different would it feel… (while looking out of the window) … but now, going in a rush, doing a ‘single’ fast and rough lift up/pull movement of each of the levers … between CL and flap operation?
in other words does a fast movement substantially reduce the difference in feel, and thereby reduce possible triggers ?
if so, in that case, would there be a difference being in the left seat or the right seat…?
if so, in that case, would there be a difference in the pilot being right or left handed…?
