NTSB and Rudders

[stator vane]

wsherif1-

do you think it all hangs on the wake turbulence and the pilots' reaction to it? in the AA and the B737 events as well?

was there then nothing wrong with the B737 rudder PCU's after all?

personally i have never had any rudder runaway-YET-but it sounds as if there have been some definite events in the rudder from what i have read.

i am simply reading this thread and asking questions if that is okay. not attacking at all.

all this leads me to state that more unusual attitude recovery in real aircraft or the sim would be more useful than ADF approaches. regardless of how many factors entered into the event-wake turbulence, yaw dampers, rudder PCU reverse flow and jamming, composite failures and sure enough, the pilots' reactions-even if some of the control came back while the aircraft was over on it's back and headed into the ground, more familiarity with unusual attitude recovery would not hurt matters at all.

cheers;
