I wonder if they've addressed the rudder pedal boost, which was
apparently much more sensitive than necessary? That was a pilot training issue, not a design error. Remember? While technically true, it's unfair to single out the actual pilot of the doomed aircraft. Almost all of us believed that what he did would NOT have resulted in the total destruction of the airplane. I still believe that they should use software to limit rudder input sensitivity, as (if I'm recalling properly) the flight data recorder showed that the pilot's rudder pedal input was absurdly small -- like 5 pounds of pressure (?) -- to get the rudder to swing from lock-to-lock. Hell, that's way less than what is required in my Pathfinder. Airbus needs to address that problem. (I would be surprised if they haven't already done so.) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
