In preceding three years of flying Aw139, I have come across three events wherein the Pilot has pressed SAS release button, where as the intention was to press FD disengage/standby button.On analysis we realized that these pilots had a habit of using thumb for pressing SAS release button instead of recommended middle finger. If thumb is used as a habit, you are likely to mix up between the two buttons i.e. SAS and FD.
