Let's put this one to rest once and for all !
The message F/CTL RUD TRV LIM Fault is justified by the loss of the ADR data.
As said previously in this thread, the rudder travel is then limited to 10 degrees and full deflection is only recovered at slats extension.
An Air Caraibe A330 incident report is circulating (in french) which describes a (survived) event sounding very similar to the AF447 event.
In the air Caraibe event (which I will try to find in english)....icing over of the Ptot probes and TAT probe at FL 350, in transoceanic equatorial WX, with severe turbulence, occured.
The following
ECAM messages, flags and system reversions are consistent with the ones reported ont the AF447
ACARS report.
As decribed earlier in this thread, the TAT increase from -14 to -5 degrees typical of an iced up probe measuring the ice temperature instead of the Ram Air.
At some point in this event the CAS, MACH and ALT go respectively from 274Kts, M0.80 and FL350 to 85kts
, M0.26 and FL347.
At the same time the cascade of ECAM warnings and cautions include NAV ADR Disagree, F/CTL ALT LAW, F/CTL RUD TRV LIM, ENG EPR mode faults (different engines there), Speed Flags on PFDs, loss of FDs, A/THR, etc....Including at some point STALL STALL audio warning (no protection in ALT LAW)
Summarily, the PF flew "pitch and power" with PNF on QRH unreliable speed indication, disregarding the STALL warning and using backup info of GPS Ground speed and Altitude (ND and FMGC).
Air Caraibe has modified all the 330 probes earlier this year.
Again, the Air caraibe report is VERY similar to what is now
known of the AF447 troubles. (Weather, turbulence, airspeed data problems)
