fantom,

I do respect your opinion... after all 16 years is a lot! I`ll be honest with you, I`m flying the bus for 3 years.

You CAN run out of lateral authority in extreme conditions and it has nothing to do with your flying technique.

I look forward to reading your apology after your first fright.
I don`t remember of ever reaching the sidestick stop! Remember, if you reach it, you`re not flying it as you should!
With this I ment that we pilots, should keep this quote in our mental debriefing after each landing. I didn`t mean that pilot flying technique was the fault. If you understood it like that, I do apologize!

I do have fewer hours than you, but with litle over 2000 hours on the 320, I have come to conclusion that 1/3 of stick displacement gave me the same result as full stick, with half the turbulence (ended up realizing that I was creating that turbulence). The 737 was flown quite more agressivelly than the A320. That`s one of the things I love on the plane, I fly it more relaxed than the 37.

But that`s me... 3 years on the plane, not 16... so who nows...

Cheers
