Comms switch confusion
-
I’m mapping the VHF and UHF callbacks for the comms switch and just want to clarify:
Pushing the switch forward (towards the ground or away from the pilot or extending the finger), is that VHF?
Pulling the switch backward (towards the sky or towards the pilot or curling the finger back to the palm), is that UHF?Or do I have them the wrong way around?
Cheers!

It certainly depends on where you comm switch is located on the throttle (in my case, on my Rhino X-55, I use a 4-way switch on the side with my thumb).
But take a close look at the symbolics on the throttle directly in the cockpit - I believe your first assumption may be correct. -
This is proper according to pics of the actual TQS
