Hi DozyWannabe,
... but if that is the case then why do we have the references to going up when they should be going down and to touch the lateral controls as gently as possible by the PNF?
PF takes manual control at 2.10.06.
From 2.10.7 - 18
"The copilot sidestick is positioned:
- nose-up between neutral and ¾ of the stop position
- to the left in half-travel position then to the right in half-travel position and twice, alternatively left to the stop position then right to the half-travel position (Period of 4 seconds)."
2.11.00 PNF says "Above all try to touch the lateral controls as little as possible eh"
PNF was either happy with PF's inputs for nearly 1 minute (doubtful) or unaware of the over controlling inputs.
That is one of the major disadvantages of separate Side Stick design.
