Rolling a 707 so violently that the engines are torn off
is not recommened.



A Dutch roll is a rhythmic maneuver that most instructors agree is about
as useful as patting your head while rubbing your tummy. In contrast,
the Slow Dutch Roll proved to be a very powerful tool.

When executing an ordinary Dutch roll, you keep the nose of the airplane
pointed at a speck on the horizon while rapidly wagging your wings with
your ailerons and holding the nose steady with your rudder pedals.

When you move the stick to the left, the nose wants to swing to the
right forcing you to step on the left rudder pedal, but not quite as
much as you would in a turn. Then, as the bank increases, you have to
step on the other pedal to keep the nose steady. And so the exercise
continues. But to what purpose?
