"...@DJ77. Doesn't sound that weak to me. If you've got full authority over the aircraft with both your hands on the primary flight controls then surely with the correct training it's an improvement? Just because cockpit ergonomics remained fairly static from the 1940s to 1988 doesn't mean that it's the "right" way to do it..."
Let me ask another way. Do you have full control of the aircraft with both hands and THS trimmed NU 13 degrees?
NO. Unless you have a third hand. The last thing anyone wants when trying to RECOVER, is an aircraft that is destabilized by something trying to HELP, that then quits
