Rudder Problems?
I'm surprised that no-one has commented on the report above by 757SP5 at http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...ml#post8841170 about rudder problems with this aircraft.

Apparently
Former Garuda Indonesia pilot Capt. Shadrach M. Nababan, said -based on its logbook data - that the Airbus A320-200 serving AirAsia flight QZ8501 had experienced problems as much as nine times on its auto rudder trim limiter flight control in 2014.
Three days before crashing on December 25, 2014, flight QZ8501 experienced a 'return to apron' twice, according to Shadrach.
Could 'auto rudder trim limiter flight control' problems be the key to this crash?

Sorry to see the wreckage is now to be abandoned, but I guess there is a trade off between the risk to recovery team members and any benefit that might result from their efforts.
