Nubian,

Question.....if the 350 is known to have a hydraulic system that can be overcome by feedback forces and thus allow a loss of Pilot control of the aircraft.....why has that not been addressed and modifications made so that the flight control system can function under all flight conditions the aircraft can be expected to encounter?

From past discussions here at Rotorheads, it was noted one particular manufacturer seemed to design aircraft that had that flaw.

From discussions about LTE....again we see one maker that seemed to overlook that problem in their aircraft until it became a PR problem that affected marketing.

What role should the certification authorities play in this?

I guess that is really two questions...one re the manufacturer and the second being the certification authorities.
