In a flat spin, does the F-16 use its rudder deflection against the rotation for recovering?
It is not possible to have the rudder deflection because the huge amount of AOA and control law take that in consideration and cancel (fadeaway) the pilot rudder inputs.Activating the MPO the slabs moved  max in order to get the nose down to lower AOA and after that we can get responses from the rudder .https://www.flightglobal.com/f-16-spin-recovery-technique-invented/15027.article
