I was sitting on a Northwest Airbus A-330 a few Sunday's ago at Tokyo
Narita airport waiting for everybody to board on the flight back to
Seattle, when I noticed something strange with the ailerons. Both
ailerons were at their full
downward deflection at about 30 degrees. Things like this can of
course never
happen in any light GA planes where the ailerons are mechanically
linked to
move in opposite directions.

Things like this can happen to ordinary GA light planes and in fact
has been around at least since WWII.
