and therein is a story...

Jetstream Rider,
Having read Davies well authored book (Handling the Big Jets, first printing) in 1968, I approached large heavy swept wing jet transport aircraft wanting to know as much as possible.
Beyond the sim, and in the aircraft, have many scars from the training Captains of the time telling me (thumping bigtime)...keep OFF the #@%&* rudder, unless an engine should fail (shutdown) or landing in a crosswind....period.
Lessons learned a long time ago should never ever be forgotton, and in my opinion, AA and their training, have a lot to answer for.

Sadly, many younger guys will never know...
