Yes, mushy. I see it that way, and said so. So did others.

My point in bringing up Ailerons/Spoilers is this:

Roll control was evident, patent, even. She impacted with a rotation to the right of some not emphatic value. Her Flight Path was generally to the Right, but may have some number of completed rotations in the generalized right rotation.

I see, then, not just a ROLL PIO, but a sustained impetus for the PIO. A PIO generally won't stabilize at some value, and continue into eternity. PF was bouncing back off some chronic rotation to the right, that included a wing drop, likely. What do you think?

Did she complete a rotation to the right? several? Because that is yet an additional complication, and suggests more than just a heading distraction? I dare not go further, for fear of appearing foolish.

'Approach Turn Recovery' should that not also include a Rudder correction for the crab that remains?

Thanks again for your patience, and your professionalism.
