I am not a pilot but I have read about runaway rudder trim issues on the Airbus.
Given that we've been told the weather was a contributing factor but apparently not the main factor, could an issue like this cause significant upset?
I recall the rudder hard-overs on 737s years ago and the incidents it caused, though I imagine this is not exactly the same....
Forgive me if I this is a foolish notion! Just trying to learn.
Really enjoy this forum!
