this is a protection not a malfunction of the RTLU.
RTLU reset would have been accomplished upon S/F selection.
I used 'stuck' as it is the word they used for the translation on page 40 of the third Interim Report, but am I missing something here :
As the role of the RTLU is to limit rudder and pedal deflection as a function of the speed, and the position of the rudder limiter was stuck, frozen since 02:10:06, why that limit was exceeded when the rudder was suddenly and generously applied after 02:13:00 ?
I have not heard about the slats being extended earlier ...
S/F selection and position is just another trace I'd like to see.
