sidestick
I have always wondered about the position of the sidestick. This of course is one of the other differences to keep in mind when comparing F-16 type HOTAS and Airbus sidestick. When I first started flying it took me some time to condition my reflexes to operate the stick with my weaker hand even with the stick positioned in my trainer between the legs. It is not a problem anymore after years of training, but I often wondered about the wisdom of having arguably the most important control on the "wrong" side of the captain (given the majority of us are right-handed). It would be interesting to study the "reversion modes" of the human brain much as the a/c in high stress situations when you are asked to make precise controls with your weaker hand.
