It's referred to as a sidestick order indication.
FCOMDSC-31-40 P 2/36 [/QUOTE](1) Sidestick order indication: This symbol is in white, and appears as soon as one engine is started. It indicates the total of the Captain's and First Officer's sidestick orders (shown here as left wing down, pitch up).[/QUOTE] |

In the FRA event, I believe the Side Stick Indicator was moving accordingly to the CPT sidestick displacement. Only the direction of deflection for the flight controls were reversed.

I use the cross for one reason - to gauge half-stick input for TO. We start to wash out the forward stick input at 80 KTS to be neutral by 100.
For 20 KT+ crosswinds, our primary input is full stick forward with the same wash out as above. Aileron input is discouraged because of the potential for spoiler float - basically no more than than half the width of the cross from center. And it disappears once the mains come off in an A320. |
