On a yoke-equipped aircraft with one pilot pushing and the other pulling, which input does the a/c follow?
Hi DL-EDI....
Which input? There is only one, the columns act as one. The efforts of two pilots result in one command only. They are mechanically connected.
"If LHS PNF was convinced that he needed control all he needed to do was push SS forward while at the same time pressing and holding the take over button on the SS and saying, "I have control". If RHS PF does not respond in time honoured aviation fashion, "You have control", PNF keeps the TO button pressed."
Hi 1066....You presume that the system will be followed, when it has built in traps that depend on CRM. With or without CRM, a yoke equipped a/c cannot split command, mechanically, it cannot happen, and is independent of the sanity or skill of either pilot.
