3.6 Normal Operations

3.6.1 Sidestick

CONTROL MOVEMENT
The sidestick is angled inboard in a "natural" wrist position. Pitch control is
accomplished with forward and aft movement of the sidestick. The wrist angle must
stay neutral when adjusting pitch to avoid introducing unwanted roll.
Moving the sidestick toward the left commands a left bank; while moving the sidestick
toward the right commands a right bank.
On the ground, the sidestick is full forward as the static position of the elevators is full
down. As airspeed increases during the takeoff roll, the elevators and sidestick
assume a neutral pitch position before rotation.
TRIM
Aileron and pitch trim are accomplished by moving the four-way trim switch on either
sidestick. Rudder trim is activated by moving the rotary rudder trim switch on the
pedestal.
