"Quite how an elbow / knee can nudge a sidestick seems strange to me - don't pilots sit correctly in seats these days? I've seen a few co-pilots in other aircraft slouch in their seats with legs crossed when acting as non-flying pilot, but very few."
It is usually nudged by a knee after motoring the seat back to put feet on the strange foot rest thingys.
Civvy flying is not like military. People tend to roam around a lot more rather than being both sat in a flying posture. I find it quite odd.
