You just shot down your entire argument. A better statement for yourself would have been, "I would assume the Super is flying a coupled approach"

But it was just one of those approaches where I was working way too hard for no reason. It just felt like lousy airmanship. Don't you ever have days like that?
No, I only fly tier 1 approaches 🙄

Fortunately I'd had upset training, so I'm here to talk about it. Unloaded the wing with a very firm push and kept 'er rolling all the way around -- the roll was too abrupt to follow the natural instinct, which is of course to stop the roll and reverse it.

It was a Meridian, for crying out loud.
