SS v CC
Not wishing to reignite the Airbus sidestick versus Boeing control column debate, but read this in a recent Flight International article on the Thomson Airways B767-300 heavy landing at Bristol in Oct 2010.
It said: "The main gear contacted the runway at 2.05G - enough to classify as a heavy landing - but the crown damage occurred when the jet rapidly de-rotated and its nose-gear struck the runway, possibly as a result of the pilot being thrown forward and pushing on the control column".
I speculate this would be less likely to happen in a SS controlled aircraft?
