Hi DozyWannabe,

From Page 88.
"The A/P2 disconnects. The roll angle changes from 0 to 8.4° in 2 seconds whereas the sidestick is at neutral. The pitch attitude is 0°."

I'm sure they would have loved to have waited 30 secs before touching the controls, but with that roll rate, they could have been beyond 30 degs bank within 7 secs. Most pilots would do something before it went beyond 20 degs.
