gums,

note that the aircraft was not a FBW Airbus, and like other similar aircraft types of the time, depended on pilot training not to make aggressive rudder inputs.

Aircraft certification required structural strength for full deflection, but did not consider fast, limiting, reversals.

The major manufacturers responded quickly after the accident to alert operators to the training issues.
