PTH, I often deeply respect your posts; PJ2, your understanding of how these big birds work is passed on in your excellent expositions time and again, helping those of us whose knowledge is less extensive ..... I would like to thank you both.
Microburst raises a point that movement of the primary controls in either an airbus or a boeing is the same as any other airplane.
Now "if you look in the past", isn't it a fact that the Wright Brothers' Flyer was exceedingly difficult to fly, because the logic of the movement of the controls
was reversed?
Seems to me that the more one can standardise the effects of controls, the position of instruments, throttle levers, flap levers, wheel brake controls, the pilot is less likely to make a mistake.
