Yeelep, if I'm sitting in the row of seats just in front of the AFT toilets, I hope I'm not hearing/feeling the rudder pedals!
I'm wondering if any NG engineers have had reason to examine the devices which stop the actual rudders and whether there are any witness marks as evidence for such a shock loading.
Doing the action every day,2 or 3 times per day, I have never sensed any damping in the assemblies final travel, therefore I have to assume they cease travel, at full deflection, by arriving at a solid stop.
