But take the same TWO crew members on an identical situation, on the same aircraft,
and, as a team,
the crew with fully visible coupled control columns
has a better tool
than the crew with fully invisible independent sidesticks.
As a previous check airman I can tell you that your assumption is incorrect, on the Airbus I am in no way limited in knowing what inputs are taking place during the landing, as a matter of fact I feel that I have better control of the situation since all that is needed to be in complete control is a push of the red button.
The point I wanted to make is that a dual stick input occurred after an unsafe airplane state had already developed. by Possum 15
Yes I fully agree, glad things worked out for you, I don't like cheating the other guy out of the landing but I now do not hesitate to push the button.
