lear av8r; you got the colors right, but none of the #'s.
apprarently there was a cold front passing through that morning. i swear i rolled to the exact amount of bank from which it wzs recoverable. the word knife edge comes to mind. i came through like a champion (to whoever above was doubting my skills).
i've heard about picking up the wing with rudder. a couple years ago a heavy UAL 747 400 lost on an engine departing san francisco. the FO picked up the wing with aileron instead of rudder and they almost hit a mountain.
if you ride motorcycles, sometimes you swerve to avoid cars, etc and it's just pure reaction and instinct. i thought for a split second about power on the right engine only bu was afraid i';d hit the wrong throttle - better all three. i was empty and more apt to be blown around.
our other pilot told me he hurt his foot and that i have to fly for him on xmas eve. he's full of it. but it'l be a little getting back on a horse tomorrow, after being thrown.
that culebra approach is even better when it's cloudy; some guy's track the st thomas localizer and it takes them right over culebra.
