I read with interest Alan Bramson's letter (Flight International, 3-9 December) and was quite perplexed by its contradictions. He says that raising a dropped/stalled wing with opposite or top rudder can have the opposite effect of that intended.
I always thought that was the correct action in a low-speed, high angle-of-attack situation when the ailerons have very little bite.
If you try to raise a dropped wing in such a situation with instinctive opposite aileron, then a deeper wing drop or a spin could result, as the aileron goes down on the wing to be lifted or picked up, its stalling angle of attack is exceeded and suddenly your side window view fills your windshield.
