AA had an MD80 that was literally rolling over, due to wake vortices, on initial takeoff in DFW. High AOA portion of takeoff. FULL aileron was NOT effective in stopping/countering imminent unusual attitude at low altitude.
ONLY by applying opposite rudder, in this relatively low airspeed, high AOA scenario, was the aircraft saved.
When the airleron's not working for you- the rudder will/can save your ass.
This was the basis for AA's AAMP training.
I too, believe what was recorded on AA587's FDR was NOT caused by the feet of FO Sten Molin.
