What a useless chat

There are many cases in which over-controlling is an issue in the AB for exactly these reasons., (I note the thread on the Hamburg accident).
The opposite is true for Hamburg, which was an incident. The A320 entered ground mode after one leg touched the ground briefly and did not revert to air mode for more than three seconds, during which roll authority was limited, so the gust could not be countered by manual input.

Ed; found some M0.82 cruise numbers:
Pointless numbers unless you know what the actual ISA deviation was. Can be very very significant in a tropical storm, maybe ISA+40 and then?
