You might want to read about the Boeing 747-400 which almost had a catastrophe climbing out of San Feancisco ( SFO) several years ago, due to a pilot's preoccupation with the ailerons instead of the rudder, as an engine suffered a compressor stall or surge (whatever).

Engine vibration made it difficult to read the flight instruments. The second crew was sitting at the rear of the c0ckp1t.
It is an interesting story.
