Seeing the motion available in the joystick video and knowing that;
- fighter joysticks have limited forward travel due to inadvertant correction under negative g.
- Civil transport manufacturers wouldn't test to the neg 1 g limit outside of the simulator and that wouldn't simulate the pilots arm coming off the rest.
- sitting in your chair with arm on armrest, if you pivot your forearm upward, raise the elbow but keep the hand in place, the hand, (handle), pivots forward.
Then perhaps introducting even more negative g. Who knows. Depends on the ergonomics.
Anybody have access to a full motion A330 sym that wants to check this out. Set moderate/severe turbulence at high alt cruise. Grip sidestick controller in manner an experienced pilot would under such conditions with the autopilot off and in alternate law. Lift yourself up against the lap belt, raising the elbow an inch or two. Anything happen. In the interest of safety, worth a quick check at least.
Or does nomal everday flight in turbulence rule out this concern, i.e., already been demonstrated in the real world.
