Indeed, Ignition Override, that UAL incident was a close one...they missed the hill by about 100 feet, as I recall.

Of course, one must remember...
it is one thing to use sufficient rudder as required in the aysemetric case, and quite another to pedal-bike the rudder...ala, AA style.

Clearly AA pilots received poor training for the 'upset' case...I wonder if the Sky Gods have actually learned anything from this accident...such is their preoccupation with...'we know better than others'.
