Only in turns up to 30 degrees angle of bank; for turns using
over 30 degrees AoB, some elevator back pressure
is required. 😁
Prior to flying the 777, all my previous aircraft types were non-FBW. I found the 777 to be twitchy in roll, particularly at the higher weights of the usual operational take-offs. When conducting simulator exercises, I found the 'slimmed down' secondary control modes (as opposed to normal control modes) to be more to my liking in terms of feel.
In particular, the secondary roll mode functioned in a manner that was much more to my liking, possibly largely due to spoilers 5 and 10, out of a total of 14 spoilers, being locked out.

Any chance you could share that with the rest of us, wiggy? 😉
