hello sir. Thanks. The DC10 has a quirky asym layout, yes? with OEI, the #2 engine, if it is running, wants to push the nose down, its mount well above the Longitudinal axis? With #1 gone, (literally), the a/c will tuck the nose and roll left. In AA's manuals, the protocol for OEI must include this tendency? If #2 is the lost one, the a/c will Pitch up, and without a yaw, more or less?

At handover, the rumor was that the rudder pedals were inconsistent, aggravating the tendency to roll left whilst the Left wing was Stalling?

cheers
