Actually your post appeared to have alluded to this indirectly. I responded, but relented and was deleted.
No harm done I hope. It was getting tiring hearing about vertical stabilizers and the loss of AF447. The two are unrelated at this point as a causal factor according to the information, scant as it is, provided so far.
Even the Seattle Post had an '
engineer' claim the Rudder TRVL Limit message was not a reported fault of the limiter, most likely due to the loss of ADIRU data, but an actual rudder over-excursion.
I had previously posted a correct interpretation by a retired but
qualified A330 engineer to the contrary and explained it in
this post of mine earlier.
Sorry if I was a bit too harsh 727gm.
