One thing to say leg would not handle it. We do have two.
All good, but were you 67 years old and were your knees “dodgy”?

What really intrigues me is that the B200 could not manage to stagger out to a safe altitude with both engines seemingly operating normally, no matter how radical the sideslip was.

And would not the rudder pedals be displaced because of the trim? Surely the pilot would have felt the asymmetry there? Unless both feet were flat on the floor.
