Here is what the UK CAA has to say on the sidestick à la sauce Airbus :
Awareness - Trainers operating FBW types with sidestick controls (i.e. no traditional control yoke) should understand that flight deck cues of a trainee pilot’s handling/mishandling are less than in conventional types. The absence of a traditional ‘yoke’ makes assessment of the flare manoeuvre particularly difficult. Trainers should develop a modified scan that should include changes to attitude, idle power selection and, ideally, sidestick movement.
Does anyone have information on the Sukhoi regional jeliner and the Bombardair C serie, what type of sidesticks do they have or plan to have : interconnected or not ?
