Hi OK465, DW, henra,

Unless the aircraft was trimmed exactly to balance any asymmetric thrust (due TL moved in response to thrust lock), it would tend to roll one way and continue to roll, unless counteracted by pilot or Auto Pilot input.
Since it was in Alternate Law, there was no AP or FBW roll input - only pilot input.

At what attitude do you think it would stop rolling if left by itself?
