The rudder channel raw data from the AA587 crash was so inconceivably unrealistic, NTSB investigators had to run it through the filter of a matrix of other A300 aircraft recordings to make any sense of it.

Part of the challenge involved the slow recording rate the A300 FDR box used. Those units were de-certified and replaced.
