The slung engine(s) to which I refer belonged to AA587, there is a video, even. Re: VS and ACARS. I leave that one to your judgment, you are the Ee. AB300, not 330, different a/c type. I believe the engine broke away after the VS was torn off, I could be wrong. I use this example for a general understanding of the inertial and aerodynamic forces in play at <250 knots, the animation of the 587 crash a/c shows the effects of "Over-Ruddering" and excess Yaw in an a/c of substantial size. It also reiterates my position that the Rudder should be less robust than The Vertical Stabiliser, for obvious resons.
