What does “and elements of the AAMP program” mean?
The video never recommends, nor taught, to do alternating rudder inputs or to use rudders for roll control in normal flight conditions. Start watching the video at the 35:00 mark.
And then compare the flight conditions AA587 was at - normal pitch, normal bank, normal AOA, normal speed. The accident had nothing to do with high AOA, or an ability to roll, or a requirement for improved roll performance to recover the aircraft.
The training program didn’t teach what Rat5 posted.
This article does a good job reviewing the NTSB’s report. The simulator program didn’t teach rudder inputs inappropriately rather it over-exaggerated the impact of wake turbulence - (from the ainonline article) - “The NTSB said that American Airlines’ Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Program (AAMP) contributed to the accident by providing an unrealistic and exaggerated view of the effects of wake turbulence on heavy transport-category aircraft.” The simulator program would take the aircraft to a high pitch altitude with very large bank angles. The NTSB animation shows that the impact on AA 587 from the preceding 747 wasn’t anything like the postion the simulator would out the aircraft in.
