As most know, (I have written an account on Pprune somewhere), I had stuck left pedal in an Astar with 6 passengers many years ago---landed it safely, no damage.
During my first job interview (part time showing real estate that was for sale from the air in an R44) I was asked about stuck pedal. The only thing I remembered my instructors (two different schools for PPL and Com) ever saying about it was that Robbies didn't have to worry about it because we don't have cable linkage. Needless to say, the interviewer was not impressed, lol.
