As far as I can tell. Other news: Melville is blaming the roll on "pilot error", not a design issue. Takes a big man to admit that sort of thing.

Integrity BUMP!

I'm surprised that he did not blame Bush for the roll.

A test pilot can not afford to lie to himself or the aircraft designer. That way lies death. He must have the most scrupulous honesty about what he screwed up, or bad "corrections" can be applied that will truly kill him next flight. All of us recognize that we constantly make minor errors and get away with them. A good pilot does, too, and admits the reality that he is merely a man.
