The NTSB, having postulated about inappropriate control inputs, finally comes back to mentioning the yaw damp(en)er.
From the original release (12 Dec):. . [quote]The yaw damper also initially failed the pre-flight check, but it too was reset by a mechanic and the problem was reported resolved, according to the NTSB. . ."Investigators are going to want to get a good handle on how effective the reset was," McKenna said. "They need to make sure the reset is valid and didn't just have the appearance of fixing the problem." <hr></blockquote>
OK maybe I'm paranoid and this was just an eerie coincidence, but would such 'sensor confusion' be limited to just this airplane, or endemic to all A300s ?
