side stick and unusual attitudes

Sorry to say but lot of crap on these threads.
Let's wait more details.

-What do u think about sidestick philosophy in unusual attitude ?

Now, the PNF is really missing important feedback : what is the colleague doing on his stick ???
Normal flight, you have feedbacks on PFD : attitude etc... but here : with attitude of 40° up, stalled, you don't have a clue of what HE IS DOING !
You can assume he is pushing down BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ! Instruments won't tell you !

Now, the table was certainly out at CRZ, so you see NOTHING of the colleague stick...

I like AB but I would prefer 2 CONNECTED STICKS with VISUAL FEEDBACK on this scenario and if i see that the other one is keeping it fully AFT for too long, I WOULD CERTAINLY NOT LET HIM DO.

Now to think that a normal pilot pulls full aft stick sooooo loooong.... hard to believe...

What u think ??
