am i reading this correctly,
The ATSB says its initial examination showed that “differential force on the control column that resulted from the captain and first officer applying an opposing force exceeded the differential force required to generate a pitch disconnect”.
“Each pilot was then controlling the elevator on their side of the aircraft in opposite directions for a brief period before the first officer released his control column.” The ATSB investigation is ongoing.
so, each yoke/stick or whatever they use on the ATR can independantly control both sides of the elevator? 1 stick forward, and one aft, means one elevator moving up and the other side down? i have only ever seen such control movements in millitary aircraft, with the computer doing the work...
something doesnt make sence..
