The only thing messed up was when my partner and I got a pitch trim failure. I was tying to hold the yoke back with all my stregth and with my knees. Little girl arms require quicker reaction in those situations :O
I don't think anyone will be passing along a, "watch out for this one," during my IOE. Though I will be sure and include it in all my briefings, lol.
Ahhhh...the pitch trim runaway...the memories.

If it makes you feel better, my sim partnet played football in college and was still struggling. Only way to fly the thing was with me doing the throttles and helping to pull on the yoke.
