Hi,

Lyman.... Thanks for clarifying... One further comment, re: "If this airframe thinks enough of itself to protect the Rudder from inadvertent and harsh deflection, why would it not also want to protect itself from a TRIM trapped STALL?"
Because it is NOT "trapped" at all and there is no risk of structural damage as there is with the rudder.
I dunno about structural damage for THS .. but this ended with a big structural damage (the entire plane and it's load)
Maybe it's to understand Lyman prose as:
Why the THS still full up .. when the plane know (seem's the pilots no) he is in a full stall
Plane know this is a full stall .. plane know this is a full up THS deflection
The two are contradictory
Why not automatically reset the THS in a better position (with a warning to pilots) like it's a limitation for rudder deflection in particular situations ?
