- I'm pretty convinced you are right. The apparent 'restorative' effect of aileron on 447 in a fully stalled condition has puzzled me for a long time and goes against 'conventional wisdom'. I now believe that the commonality of large spoiler deflections with aileron means we may have to re-write the book on the effect of roll control at the stall..
