I came across a pretty old post about panel layout. The topic came up about putting your radios/nav/AP on the left or right side of the glass display.
Ironflight offered (keep me honest Paul) that the NASA folks did some usability testing and for a right-handed pilot, the stack should go on the right side so input could be made with right hand while the plane was (briefly) flown with the left. Much like we all did in the Cessna and Piper days. Take-off, landings and most flying would be done with the right hand.
My question is, how did you choose to lay out your panel? If you're right- handed, did you put the stack on the right or left? If it is on the left, do you have any issues operating the stack with your left hand? Is Paul's team right about putting the stack on the right side? Is everything easier to operate that way?
I need to make this decision in the next 60 days. Thanks everyone.
