FAA Belated Response to AA 587 Accident

On 12 November 2001, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300, crashed due to structural failure of vertical stabiliser. On 21 November 2022, FAA published a final rule to prevent a similar failure on future aircraft designs.

See Federal Register :: Yaw Maneuver Conditions-Rudder Reversals

Flight Global covered it at FAA finalises rudder protection rule stemming from 2001 American Airlines A300 crash | News | Flight Global but I haven’t noticed any media commentary on speed of FAA’s response.

Safety may be paramount but it’s clearly not urgent.
