Interesting comments from the latest issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology (18 February 2002, page 44..."As one pilot quipped, "Don't tell me not to kick the rudder around until the facts are in".. .Clearly, these guys have NOT been in civil jet TRANSPORT aircraft for very long...otherwise, they would know better.. .I wonder if these types are ex-USAF and expect the aircraft they now fly to respond like a fighter?. .If so, God help the flying public...AKA, the passenger.. .Any pilot in civil jet transport aircraft who does a tap-dance on the rudder (especially at higher speeds) needs to be REPLACED without delay.. .The lessons from the past are there for all to see. Wonder where the training departments stand? Have ALL the old guys retired, or what?
