Stick input

JD EE

Stick input is displayed ONLY on the ground, to enable flight control check and to monitor stick inputs during ground roll. As soon as aircraft is airborne, the "Iron Cross" and its reference box disappear from the ADI on the PFD (that is the Attitude Director Indicator on the Primary Flight Display).

As soon as the aircraft is airborne, aircraft response indicates what (the hell) the pilot flying is doing with his side stick.

Mix up of sidestick inputs such as you describe does not seem very logical to anybody who has handled aircraft controls.
