The point being that a rudder has some tendancy to reverse in turbulance and
I have provided you with two cases of operators panicing, when operating
under those conditions. (as determined by the administrator)

Two cases in decades and millions of flight hours hardly presents a "general
case"!

Further, you have not shown any indication of panic on the part of any pilot.
You noted earlier that some pilots have been TAUGHT to use a significant amount
of rudder in circumstances such as those encountered by US 427. Such use of
rudder would have been reaction based on training, not on panic.


BTW, I have checked the 747-400 FHB, and turn coordination is indeed a
function of the yaw damper. I had overlooked that detail, since the spoilers
tend to assist in that same function.

Impressive Weiss, but a little late after you have been such a prick. The
707 is a much better study in spoiler deployment for YAW cancellation and
probably coser to the B-52H configurtion.

Late for what? Perhaps the only thing that's late is your period...

Hmmm... It appears the only thing subject to a prick is that thin-skinned,
inflated balloon that is your ego.

Maybe the A-6 comes even closer to current B-52 configuration for roll
control -- use of spoilers only, with no ailerons. In the case of the A-6,
coordinated turns could be accomplished with little or no use of rudder.
However, faster roll rates -- often tactically/operationally advantageous --
were available with rudder use.
