Va, or I missed something...

I am just a simple PPL pilot, just completed my training,
and my ground school, but I really don't understand something.

One of the most important (and basic) things thought to me was
the Va speed (on any aircraft, the highest speed for "brutal steering").

On every plane (single piston or 4 jet) there must be in the
manual a clear declaration of the Va.

So, what is the Va for A300-600 ?

Is it stated clearly in AOM ?

If so, what is all this disscusion about ?

If the co-pilot applies full ruder above the Va,
he's to be blamed without daubt for the crash,
if below of the Va, that's the manufacturer's fault.

Fullstop.
