One would think this information would be presented with a bit more emphasis...
It was, at least with one particular airplane and one specific airline..L1011 and BA.
In thier ops manual for the airplane was the pitch and roll limitations...14 degrees roll* as I recall (you will get a wing tip before an engine pod) and for pitch, struts compressed, 11.5 degrees, struts extended, 13 degrees.

Handy information to know...

NB.
* The L1011 uses the wing down method for drift correction during autolands...and having personally done so at 35+ knots...it does so very precisely.
Every time.
