Sorry, a re-attack. Here's a picture of a GCS
The left hand side is the Pilots position (just like the left hand seat is the captain on most aircraft), you can just see the rudder pedals, the throttle is on the left and the right hand stick is used to control the aircraft attitude and command weapons etc...
The OCU takes about 3 months including 1 month of groundschool, which is about the same as any Fast Jet OCU.
