The Danger of Generalization

I contend that AAMP video and the resulting simulator training were a contributing factor in AA 587 - reference 28:00 into the video where he talks about using top rudder. The AAMP and AA 587 were brilliantly summarized by UAL: "Aerodynamic principles do not change, but airplane design changes creates different flight characteristics. Therefore, training and experience gained in one model or type of airplane may or may not be transferable to another. For example, the handling qualities of a fighter-type airplane cannot be assumed to be similar to those of a large commercial swept-wing aircraft." - UAL B747-400 Flight Crew Operations Manual
