A question – to ATPLs. Particularly AB drivers and AB330 especially.

The PF’s actions to try to correct roll were described as “stirring mayonnaise” and PNF advised him to be more gentle.

If the control had been a yoke, is it likely that such extreme movements would have been made by PF?

(My experience in a glider is that one can rapidly move the stick all over the place and the glider attitude is unchanged. Hold it slightly off centre, however, and it does change the attitude. But all that, of course, is at a low mach number. I would not do it at VNE! But also, gliders do not have “protections” built in.)
