Control Column Force
Gentlemen,
Doubtless this might be considered a daft question but being in ATC I just don't know....!
Following the recent poor weather in the UK and Europe, have been discussing de-icing etc. I understand that certain fluids require a greater than normal control column pull force on rotation. This led me to speculate: How hard do you actually have to pull on the column for normal and de-iced ops? Having never flown an airliner I just don't know what it feels like! I suppose one should measure this force in Newtons, no??
Just humour me and don't knock ATCOs with an interest in wider aviation....
Regards,
