Recently read a couple of peer-reviewed scientific research papers that do a great job parsing Airbus stick skills and fine-grain aircraft control. I’ve learnt some new things, confirmed some suspicions, but still have questions. The four topics are: Where to hold the side stick? Separate up/down and left/right inputs, or move the stick in 2-D?
