Thank you for that. That pretty much puts to rest the debate re: SS/yoke.
Sullenberger is not anonymous, and seemingly has no bias.
Case closed.....
TTex600 and CONFiture, a question.. From the video. Full aft stick shows the handle's remaining cant of approx twenty degrees forward. From this geometry, it would seem Airbus have incorporated a bias to back stick, and left NOSE DOWN as more difficult to gain v/v stick angle. Your thoughts? Full forward stick looks to require forearm push PLUS wrist rotation, is that it?
Is that an engineering artifact? A remnant of overconfidence in the aircraft's protection against extreme NU commands?
Full back stick looks alarmingly comfortable. is it?
