Regarding fin stall.. .Interesting thought, but V2 on that airplane when it's heavy would be around 155kts. Perhaps I'm missing your point here but if you lose an engine at max thrust and fly at V2 or V2+10 to clean up you are going to have very close to full rudder fed in until you can accelerate and power down. If the rudder doesn't "stall" then, why would it stall at 250knots?. .The investigation is ongoing but I will wager my 401K (such as it is) that those pilots had nothing to do with the rudder going crazy. The powers that be will try their best to blame the crew because of political expediancy and it will be up to us and our unions to keep the "bull**** filter" up.
