In the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 series, it may be possible for a pilot to apply rudder control inputs that result in aerodynamically generated structural loads in excess of certification design limits and approaching ultimate loads.
Hmm... I was under the impression that the whole Airbus design philosophy was precisely to protect pilots against themselves. This is a serious breach IMHO.
