The videos are out there. In the videos CA Vandenburg specifically talks about cautious use of rudder at high AOA and low airspeed if more roll authority is needed.

He says “keep in mind this is also the steps for spin entry” or something like that. So it was not a flippant “just do it” recommendation.

What the sim model did was put the aircraft in an unrealistic attitude for a wake turbulence encounter. I forget the entry parameters but it was significantly nose high and recovery required approaching 90 degrees of roll to recover the nose towards the horizon. The NTSB animation of the 587 accident shows rolls of less than 10-15 degrees.

The manufacturers are leery of AAMP because they don’t see the exposure (actual occurrences) in airline flying. The concept is valid but the actual need might never occur. But inappropriate application is a threat.
