Reminds of Bonanza V tails coming off at Vne...but the speeds were so high as to create a flutter, oscilation. Ofcourse that was a mechanical problem, blamed on pilots going to to fast, but ofcourse everyone has the tail mod now, surprise surprise. So ofcourse, Beech wasn't to blame, but you haven't had a V tail come off since. Surprise surprise.

I think it was the Meridian that had the tail come off in turbulence, everyone said the A/P did a pitch over, exceeded Vne causing the tail to come off. They have an A/P check, reduced Va for turbulance and forced the pilots to go to school to fly this tricky plane and how to handle it. They did a tail mod too...surprise surprise.

So the Airbus tail comes off...did they buttress and mod the tail or didn't they? Why fix something that aint broken?

Rabbit by your own post you mentioned that your NTSB guys show you the real deal but offical findings are different, for reasons you can't fathom. It's called politics and economics.
