Very interesting.
We have heard here that the crew should have noticed the large control wheel movement before the AP disconnected.
The aircraft was supposed to turn right in the timeframe just before the upset. Therefore the crew would expect some amount of right control wheel movement.
I don't know the speed at which the AP put in right aileron, ie how long time passed between say 10 degrees right control wheel position and reaching 20 degrees limit position?
Should a 10 degree right control wheel position raise any alarm from the pilots when the pilots expected some level of right control wheel movement due to right turn put into the AP? If no, how much movement should raise an alarm? How long time would pass from the "alarm threshold" position until AP disconnect?
