Inadvertent activation of the FIRE shutoff switches
-
Is anyone else experiencing inadvertent activation of the FIRE shutoff switches, especially the left engine FIRE switch?
It seems that when I go for the Flight Director MODE switch or the PITCH CMD switch, I sometimes drag down the mouse with the left mouse button pushed and drag open & activate the left engine FIRE switch. I'm getting real good at engine relights, but...
Also, sometimes I'll have window open off to the right side, and a mouse click on that window will inadvertently activate the FIRE switch.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!

@richjb Hi Rich. I have to admit to doing this myself during a test flight. We'll try to find a way to make inadvertent activation less likely.
