In: Engineering

Answer 1

There is one plane crash (can’t remember which one ) where the two pilote were inputting opposite order on the stick, basically fighting each other
Edit: it’s [AirAsia Flight 8501](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia_AirAsia_Flight_8501)

Don’t know if the two sticks are linked
