RH pilot - "I have control"
A few minutes later
RH pilot "Roll jam - pull roll disconnect handle" - LH controls now work in roll, but still jammed in pitch
LH pilot "I have control in roll only - you still have control in pitch"
Then proceeded to fly the ILS with LH pilot controlling pitch, and RH pilot controlling roll. Actually not as difficult as it seems, as you only have to correct "your" deviations.
(Apologies if this is a common simulator game on larger types, but the Dash 7 was the only type I ever flew that had pitch and roll disconnects)
Had this one a few times on the sim recently. Quite confusing in the first few moments. I take/give the flaps and gear control to the 'pitcher' and comms and checklists to 'roller'.
