Pilot pulls back on side stick and instead of seeing the result on attitude only monitors bank. Isn't that strange instrument flying? Sure in alternate law he had to do only that provided he had not given any pitch input. The actions were not logical but panic stricken, perhaps not coming from rational part of the brain but primal.
Vilas, that is what a roll PIO will do to a pilot. Destroy his faith in his flight control system. Mentally exhaust him. Terrify him.
All circumstantial except for one thing. Just why was AF447 oscillating in roll during those first 30 seconds?
Who here has had experience with any form of PIO?
Virtually no one
