Em...not 'potential'. Two violent 737 crashes plus other events. I would like to see complete neutrality in the investigation of such incidents- safety is the issue, not US v Airbus. Someone else raised it first.
At the risk of kicking off the whole AA discussion again, previous history and the manner of the event satisfies me that the JFK accident was reasonably caused by overcontrol during a wake encounter. Aeroplanes are not designed to have full rudder applied in that manner. There is obviously a rudder problem here- whether there is a whole fin problem is not at stake- this incident has nothing to do with a fin problem.
