RTLU consideration
Machinbird,
Tail down as in "nose slightly up" as noted in respect to the BEA report of the impact.
Others have addressed the RTLU issue recently and I need to reflect on it further.
Thanks.
P.S. I'm a retired Engineer & Program Manager in the field of cockpit instruments and engines and in those roles have worked at a company interfacing with both Boeing and EADS on a number of commercial aircraft development programs (not the A330).
