I didn't know what it was called, but I've experienced mild Dutch Roll enough on flights, usually on the approach or landing, that I didn't realize that it was all that rare or dangerous. I had come to think of it as a normal result of wind shear. I imagine it's a matter of degree, and I wish there was some mention of the magnitude of the Dutch Roll in this case vs what is considered normal or acceptable.

(Edited to qualify my experience as "mild".)




How did you tell the difference between dutch roll and the plane catching a glideslope?
