If you're going to move up to transport category you're going to learn
all sorts of new stuff.


Well, I have some knowledge of transport category airplanes and have never seen
anything in a flight manual which addresses the rudder reversal mode nor do I
know any pilot who will admit knowing of the problem before this accident. If
it is possible to overstress the vertical stabilizer of a transport category
airplane by applying full rudder and then reversing it even when that airplane
has a system specifically installed to prevent this, then maybe it would be a
good idea to let the pilots know about it.
Which brings up an interesting question...what about light aircraft? Are there
similar limitations or cautions which are applicable here? Should we be
concerned with how we use the rudder given that light aircraft are not
generally required to meet as high a standard for certification?
