There was nothing "steady state" about my experience during this test. It was in a real airplane and when the CG was shifted to beyond the aft limit, it was violent. Our pitch attitude maxed out at over 40 degrees before the rolling action began to lower the nose. And that was with me holding the yoke to the forward stop.
That's a really good point. In our experiment, the CG remained beyond the aft limit and when the recovery was complete, you're left with a statically unstable airplane in the pitch axis. If the load shifted back to normal when the pitch attitude goes negative, that would certainly provide for some short term regaining of pitch control.

Off the wall question. On 4-man crews do both of the Captains log PIC time for the entire length of the flight?
Yes I know, nobody logs time anymore. This is actually oriented to corporate flying.

For those of you who might be interested, you should take a look at the UAL thread. "ALPA Taking Sides"
Looks like one of our own's consulting business might be in a little trouble. He might have to go back to flying the line full time.

Interesting discussion, all. It's my understanding with jet upset that in such low airspeeds the rudder needs to be used (but not aggressively, obviously) to assist with limited aileron effectiveness. While what Carl stated on the recovery is exactly what I though it would be (and what we should all come to understand about unloading the aircraft in upset recovery), I'm a bit surprised that he stated that the recovery was with no rudder input. Is the dutch roll that bad on a swept wing at that low speed with rudder input? That part goes contrary to what I've been taught (and experienced).
Of course, I'm lacking in the real world test flight experience that Carl has.![Smile](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks to all for their great input on this discussion!

At slow speeds (all the way up to stall), the ailerons give you all the roll rate you need for this recovery technique. Those few sim instructors at American who were advocating this technique came from the fighter world, specifically the F-4 which (I'm told) had a significant adverse yaw characteristic when ailerons were used at low speeds. This technique was wholly inappropriate for a swept wing airliner that has no adverse yaw issues, but is very vulnerable to Dutch Roll. That's why as far as I know, that technique has been completely discredited by the NTSB and the manufacturers.
