Question

I rather thought that from the picture of the control position indicator the rudder was well outside the indices for normal inputs, which I took to be the two red marks either side of the instrument display.

The Boeing 747 rudder ratio changer reduces rudder travel at about 186 kts I think, this makes it doubly strange that the programme said that you can get full rudder deflection from less rudder pedal input on the airbii, it seems counter intuitive....
