2 thoughts... (from a B757/767 P2)

1. UP recovery: Whilst I have done this in the sim, it has concentrated on aileron / elevator. Pretty impossible to overstress on aileron (although care needed if combined with 'g', hence roll then pull), elevator natural / known limit of 'g'. Never any hint of using rudder, which I know should be treated with care...

2. Hints over the AA accident has referred to a large rudder deflection one way, very soon followed by a similar but opposite deflection the other - the reversal causing a larger problem than just a single large deflection. No proof that this was due to crew inputs (but a possibility). A reminder to us, without (public) accusations at either crew or aircraft (for now?)
