411A, if you want to have a little fun, pull that "roll disconnect handle", then have your co-pilot turn his control wheel full left, at the same time you turn your control wheel full right. All 4 ailerons will move full up.

Now, lower the flaps to 4 degrees or more, and do the same procedure above. Now along with the 4 full up ailerons you will get 12 up spoilers, for even more fun.

Both of the above may be a little to much fun to have while you are in the air, so I suggest they only be accomplished on the ground.
Noted, with thanks, glhcarl...we have some new guys in training so it should be....informative, to say the least....on the ground.
We do most of our pilot/FE proficiency checks in the airplane now, since the Bournmouth L10 sim went TU some time ago.

Recall years ago some DC8 pilots were in training on the L10, and they tried some pre-start control checks, with hydraulics...OFF.
Aileron crosshatch lights illuminated, as you might expect, and I was called from hotac at 3am...and asked...'whatever could be wrong?'

My simple reply...'RTFB, dummy, it ain't a Douglas.'
