You have to be joking! What you said cannot be serious. A wake vortex encounter is not an unusual event They happen. This type operated in Australia for years quite happily, having wake encounters....

One gets a similar feeling to know there appears to be a large group of pilots, apparently uniquely American, and from one particular large airline with an eagle on a silver tail, who are professing...

I'm not twisting your words, but I do not believe any Boeing fin could take the strain this fin was put under either If I recall correctly, the photographs of the breakages that occurred showed the...

airsupport,

Well the exact cause of several 737 rudder hardover crashes was never precisely pinned down, so why are 737s flying today? Because we know the problem, we've been trained how to handle...

This aeroplane was climbing out over Jamaica Bay within about 5 miles of JFK at the encounter. I would think they were going slower than 250kts! Whatever the distance of rudder travel, I am still...

Well the guy doing the simulator replication used large amounts, not 1.2". I'm inclined to believe what the simulator did, not what the FAA report stated, as all jets I know of work pretty similar....

Having just watched the documentary on Sky about the accident, the AA pilot replicating the event in the simulator was applying not 1.2" rudder, but a good 6 inches or so, which is what I would...

Never quite seen it that bad, though 30+ years ago, turbulence did seem worse, but maybe that was the way the VC10 punched its way through turbulence rather than the Boeing 'wallow'!

Thank you for that. I find it difficult to see that 1.2 inches travel would give full scale rudder deflection at low climb speeds. It would make engine out control difficult. The normal rudder system...

No- I would expect that would be at cruise speed at altitude. Without being familiar with the Airbus rudder system, I would expect at the lowish speed the Airbus was going- just after a turn, and...

I'm interested in why these rudder reversals took place, and what caused this pilot to think this was a valid way of controlling the aeroplane in a violent wake encounter. I think most pilots would...

From before I started passenger flying, I was taught in BOAC to 'go easy on the rudder', it is for engine failure, not for flying the plane. I was taught it at flying school- always be ginger on the...
