Backstick Braking

Suggest that you look carefully through the thread on backstick braking:

There is a lot of information there by people who have been taught and used it in the military (including Harrier Test Pilot John Farley). Unfortunately there is a lot of dissenting carping and misinformation by one individual in particular (MFS).
Keep in mind that it's a recommended technique on the BAe146 - as a number of operators have pointed out on that thread. From another source I understand that Airbus at least is considering writing software in order to incorporate the technique into its automation.
