Nasty business this is.VMCA is something that should be avoided at all costs.
Notice in the animated sim that the rudder was not held at full deflection all the time especially when it started to roll on it's back. AS slowly decayed.The primary instrument to watch in these events apart from keeping wings reasonably level is airspeed. Airspeed is everything. You can go off course a fair bit and even lose a little Alt but losing AS & it's game over full stop! If you have to sacrifice anything make it Alt even if yr down at fence height a wings level crash is far more survivable than spinning in due going beyond VMCA.
I did many renewals in the old Beech 'till we got an old Sim to use. Man was that an eye opener! Old heap of junk Sim it was/is but it taught you to fly the numbers & had you as sharp as a razor blade in the end
