Cirrus Aircraft put a sidestick on its airplanes that isn't a stick at all; it's a yoke.
ReplyDeleteHighest Injury: SERIOUS
ReplyDeleteWhat was the plane's response to junior's sidestick input? Injury must have been significant to rate the serious level and get reported. How old was the child, was child up front or was it a reach?
The Flightaware track doesn't show anything extraordinary. One circling turn that raises altitude for a while, hard to tell if that was the event time frame.

DeleteHow old was the kid and where was he seated? Front right seat or in the back?
