This is outside my normal operating sphere (Type-wise). Have any of you posters seen the A A L training videos dealing with CFIT, Control Malfunctions etc?
The significance is that the presenter - an A A L training Capt of some considerable experience - uses an almost throw-away example of control malfunction quoting 757 flap assymetry (inboard) as an example of uncontrollable roll input. He described the effect as so dramatic that, initially, his flight sim instructor teams deleted the fault from the simulator because they considered it to be IMPOSSIBLE to deal with!! Subsequently, some eight(?) years later they re-introduced it as part of the package of training measures incorporated to deal with 'crossover' speeds - NOT just for the 737 rudder problems. Could this have something to do with the limiting flap input as well as the other reasons?
