"arm 36 g" corrosion
RE: Diversification #471
I am hesitating to respond to your opinion because, as you said in your post #449, this has probably little to do with the cause of the accident and even less with the search.
I have carefully looked at the photo, but my untrained eyes don't see what you see. I would think that, if "arm 36 g" had been substantially weakened by corrosion, that fact would have been much more evident to the experts examining the vertical tail structure, and BEA would not only have mentioned that finding in their report, but would have called for an immediate inspection of that part on all A330/A340's.
