He stepped on the Rudder and redefined Va
Just curious if anyone else has noticed the FAAs recalibration of what Va is after the Airbus rudder deal?
Re-upping my CFII was pretty funny...maybe it's old news now, but I was reminded that Va stress limits can be exceeded under Va, you know, if you step on the pedal too hard in an Airbus, right after departure, going slow...
Always cracks me up. Just have to wonder how much Airbus bought off the FAA to get us all to swallow this.
