Political and un-Diplomatic pressure from the foreign states heavily
invested in the sucess of Airbus.
The same for Boeing 737 tail problem... resolved for the entire fleet
only in ....2012....
The Boeing tail problem is the same one the A-300 has; the 737 rudder PCU AD
is basicly political bull****. Loss of ATC seperation led to a control
surface stall and the pilot beat the rudder pedals through the floor. The
difference is that the A-300 in question was equiped with a DFDR and we can
know exactly what happened. We know the pilot's inputs to the airplane, the
direction of deflection of the rudder and the aircraft's response to those
control surface deflections. Flight AA587 was classic rudder reversal due
to flow seperation. (stall)
Referernce: Blakey's statement to the USAir 737 and AA A-300.
