Aspinwing:
Seems like common sense, doesn't it!
Guess what:
Common sense isn't!!
I do understand
their view from a short term (view...) perspective:
We have a prescribed max tolerance and if it works we go all the way there!
These things are expensive!! (...can't make them "see" your point 2....)
And best of all - none of
them bites the dust when the darn things go south!!
It's pretty obvious that we (pilots on this thread...) all agree, that saving peanuts is not worth the increased risk.
What I would like to get my hands on is examples like "If all else fails"s....
or some hard data that shows later, more expensive damage/downtime to other parts of the tail or airframe...
Thanx Aspinwing!
