Rudder Travel Limit

There is much talk about it here. Could anybody explain why the report of the Air Caraibe incidents of lst year August & September states the following:

Conrol Alternate Law:

la valeur maximale du debattement est gelee a 10°

means the value of max rudder travel is locked at 10°

The ACARS msg refers to exactly that situation, they were at Controls 'Altn Law'. I think those pilots would need no other indication, they would know what Altn Law means. Just for those who keep asking, if there is any indication.

Let me say more, I am before retirement, I have been flying with a lot bright young pilots over the years, who did a very good job. Insinuating that todays young pilots are less trained or do not have the experience required is an assumption which should not be generalized. Just my oppinion...
