PTH - the Airbus has a rudder limiter.
What a/c are/were you type rated on? They might have had the same rudder limiter design that the A300/310/320 have.
Anyone know if Airbus changed to the better standard on the A330/340/380?
NTSB concerned about rudder sensitivity on Airbus narrowbodies
NTSB believes a variable-ratio rudder travel limiter may provide better protection against high loads from sustained rudder inputs at high speeds than variable-stop systems since variable-ratio systems retain a relatively uniform response throughout the airspeed envelope, and require more physical effort from a pilot to produce cyclic full rudder inputs at high speeds
