CS 29.779 Motion and effect of cockpit controls ED Decision 2003/16/RM Cockpit controls must be designed so that they operate in accordance with the following movements and actuation: (a) Flight controls, including the collective pitch control, must operate with a sense of motion which corresponds to the effect on the rotorcraft. (b) Twist-grip engine power controls must be designed so that, for left-hand operation, the motion of the pilot’s hand is clockwise to increase power when the hand is viewed from the edge containing the index finger. Other engine power controls, excluding the collective control, must operate with a forward motion to increase power. (c) Normal landing gear controls must operate downward to extend the landing gear.
