Dual inputs in the Bus are a big no no as the inputs are summed. So if one stick is held full left and one full right the result is zero. If both sticks are held half aft the result is FULL aft. The take over pushbutton (big red A/P disco also)
should be used but, very close to the ground when
reacting instinctively to a rapidly developing situation, it takes a lot of conscious effort to actually think about pushing and holding it as you take control.
The aircraft will shout "DUAL INPUT" at you but by the time this happens you may well have touched down / ballooned.
I'm an Airbus fan, but I have to admit that this is not the best fature of the Bus.
