Read carefully
The last few posts have missed the point.
The AIC I informed you about is a statement of fact, a limitation that I and many others but not all pilots know about. AA587 DFDR clearly shows a rudder movement from full one way to full the other and as this AIC says, the possible structural failure occurred.
Two questions out of many that remain now are:
1. Was this a pilot input or not;
2. Do pilots know NOT to do this, or is the training system deficient?
I was told many, many years ago not to do this even on Seneca’s, and also during training for all my jet type ratings.
The main purpose for my topic was to makes sure that this fact was as widely disseminated as possible INCASE any pilots didn’t know about it.
