Then you need to reread page 245 on Handling the Big Jets Where Davies discusses the recovery from gross upsets. Paragraph e.
If a gross upset is not an unusual position then I dont know what is.
On a lifetime of flying big jets the only time I have seen more than 30 degrees of bank was on VC 10 dutch rolling training when things got quite aerobatic ! Its a long time ago but MANUAL recovery to S &L was by use of AILERONS ONLY. No rudder input.
No hysteria about the A 300 fin loss, just sensible learning, reinforcing what was already known to most us, from a grossly mishandled jet.
Never spun the 757, a most delightful and benign aeroplane , ( except its “heavy” wing vortices.! )
