*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week, AVweb asked our readers which light
aircraft layout they'd prefer, given their druthers.
Out of curiosity, we separated the pilots with more than
300 hours from those with less experience — and you know
what we found out? Experience didn't have much of an impact on your
preference.
40% of total respondents preferred a traditional yoke
with throttles on the right, while slightly fewer
readers (39% of the total respondents) preferred a stick
with throttles on the left.
To round out the numbers, 18% of respondents opted
for a stick with throttles on the right, while only 2%
of you chose a traditional yoke with throttles on the
left.
As an interesting aside, the biggest gulf between
less experienced pilots (fewer than 300 hours) and more
experienced pilots (more than 300 hours) occurred in our
numbers for a stick control with throttles on the left.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
Anonymously honest?
This week, AVweb wants to know if you've ever
partaken of alcohol before taking a flight. Have
you ever had an alcoholic beverage — or any portion of
an alcoholic beverage — before acting as pilot in
command?
Click here to answer.
(Please sit this one out if you've ever stolen a
plane and taken it for a joy ride under the influence of
alcohol.)
