Go on what the manuals tell you and not Aviation Herald or someone who met a guy, who knew a friend, who definitely had heard from a reliable source that roll rates can be clearly seen on the flight controls page whilst on a visual approach.
Which of course would be excellent advice if the manufacturers included all of the aircraft's hidden features in the FCOM. Had information that is NOW in the public domain been included in the 737 Max FCOM a number of folks may now still be with us. Over the years much infornation not originally included in the Airbus FCOM has also appeared there as a result of accidents or incidents!
