Marshall Wells shops haven't existed in Canada for some time, pal. That is indeed a vintage shot.

You know, I actually can't remember if they have dynamic controls based on their phase of flight. I know smaller planes do not. GPS approaches do get more sensitive the closer you get to an airport, but that's more about navigation precision than controls.

If the controls aren't dynamic, it may just be that they are purposely less sensitive in bigger planes, just like how bus steering wheels are gigantic compared to a car. You don't want small movements resulting in big changes.

I'm pretty sure you can change the sensitivity of the flight controller if you're in a plane with fly-by-wire. I have no idea about pure hydraulics though.

I'd imagine they're trained to get used to it and make larger movements for small directional adjustments all the time. After all, a plane that size is hardly something you'd ever want to move in one swift motion anyway.

Well you basically just have to counter the movements of the aircraft so that it remains stable. During landing you are moving downwards so the plane has a tendency to nose down and there's all the air and stuff so as you can see if he moves the yoke to go up as soon as the aircraft actually starts to go up he starts trying to point it down.

The controls are for very fine-tuned adjustments in that phase of flight, meaning you have to move the yoke a lot to affect a small change. The last thing you'd want is the turbulence to bump your arm and send the plane in a turn.
