Friction control settings made to the front cockpit power control lever (PCL) has no effect on the rear cockpit PCL.?

The statement is false because adjustments made to the friction control settings of the front cockpit power control lever (PCL) do have an effect on the rear cockpit PCL. In the T-6B, both cockpits are interconnected in various ways to ensure that flight controls and power settings can be managed effectively by both pilots. This means that changes to the friction settings of the front PCL will influence the resistance and feel of the rear PCL.

This design ensures that if one pilot adjusts their PCL for comfort or ease of manipulation, the other pilot experiences a consistent level of control over power settings, which is critical during multi-pilot operations. Understanding the shared nature of the controls reinforces the importance of communication and coordination between pilots in the cockpit.
