Come on... you've never reached over and hit the flaps or gear when the other guy got saturated for whatever reason? You are truly the superior aviator if so. Not only are you incapable of moving the flaps or gear when you are the PF, but you are fully capable of removing any task saturation from any and all crewmembers on the airplane. Why is it that we revere newK so? Perhaps it should be "what would NuGuy do?"

The whole idea with that is to reduce task saturation... hence having already considered the shape of the crew and the airplane and keep from overloading them with commands that you, the pilot, should be perfectly capable of performing.


Props for the shoutout on your first post... you get 5 Schrute bucks! Or is it newK bucks over here?
