Here you go folks. From Boeing’s FCOM. While this passage is from the B737 NG, I can confirm after reviewing the FCOMs of all Boeing’s Ive flown have the same language concerning the flight controls check.

Flight controls .................................................. ...........Check C

[Option - Flight Control Surface Position Indicator] Push the MFD SYS switch to display the flight control surface position indications on the lower display unit, if desired. Make slow and deliberate inputs, one direction at a time. Move the control wheel and the control column to full travel in both directions and verify: • freedom of movement • that the controls return to center

[Option - Flight Control Surface Position Indicator] • correct flight control movement if the flight control surface position indications are displayed on the lower display unit. Hold the nose wheel steering wheel during the rudder check to prevent nose wheel movement. Move the rudder pedals to full travel in both directions and verify: • freedom of movement • that the rudder pedals return to center

[Option - Flight Control Surface Position Indicator] • correct flight control movement if the flight control surface position indications are displayed on the lower display unit.

Even worse, a conservative.....and you’re the worst kind of conservative. You know, the sheeple type that takes every opportunity to use “snowflake”, yet doesn’t know the origin.

My god, our profession is getting invaded by snowflakes and liberals!

Yeah, the next thing you know there will be unions and organized labor crying about wanting better compensation and whatever these things called “work rules” are. The doublethink some pilots engage in is stunning.

Edit: on topic, full movement of controls means full movement of controls. It’s a safety issue. You may need that last inch of travel one day (that’s what she said), and when you need it isn’t the time to find out you don’t have it.

So if you are a unionized professional, you clearly must be a left winger? Hmm, your broad brush there isn’t working out too well. The vast majority of your co-workers are conservatives, just sayin...

That is just a spectacular rebuttal.

Unless your window jammed in the accident of there was a pool of flaming fuel on your side. Then you would need to follow him out along with any jumpseaters.

“Your” profession?:rolleyes: Yeah right. There maybe more that leans right than left in OUR profession and whatever, moderation on either side is fine. However, the reality is that your extremist right wing whacko lunatic fringe notions are an exception in OUR profession.....thankfully.

If you knew anything about labor history, long and recent past, you would know that voting Republican is clearly worse for unions than voting Democrat. Are Dems hands clean? No. Nevertheless, being pro union and voting Republican is a contradiction.

Stop letting Fox, Breitbart and clickbait on Facebook spoon feed you your news and read a book or newspaper and formulate your own thoughts and opinions.
