Arm 36 g again
After a lot of thinking about how the badly corroded end of arm 36 g could have played a role in the accident, I now think that it is irrelevant. It points more to a potential danger in future flights, had the aircraft escaped this time. A total failure of both sides of this arm could have a rather bad effect on rudder movability. Probably Airbus will have to look into the inspections required in order to find if other aircrafts have the same corrosion problem.
