Ralph Nesbitt wrote: The issue with the incident in question was the complete vertical stabilizer breaking off, not just the rudder fin. The vert stab broke off on account of the forces created on it by the multiple reversals of rudder. The link posted by Rich Ahrens http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2001/AA58...its/239998.pdf states unequivocally that structural failure can result from such action. See somewhere like page 3 of the text. Graham As has been said many times before - why was this not more widely realised ? I note that the message in the link above was sent to *management*. Nuff said ?
