Some years ago we had a senior pilot who lost digits from his left hand in a Huey in VN, and a copilot who lost similar digits from his right hand as a kid, in a farm accident.

We would often crew them together to put enough fingers on the centre console to get the job done

(nb we have the captain in the right seat in helicopters, as it should be . )
