More on AF 447
Mr. Palmer,
I think the side-stick controller was at least as a contributing factor in this accident. With a conventional control yoke everyone in the cockpit could have seen that the one pilot was pulling back on the stick. A side-stick is off to the side - out of view - and I suspect has much less travel. But as you point out, the main problem is a lack of competence. Mike Koerner
