A couple of days ago the NTSB found the 320 series to have too
sensitive a rudder, it can be torn off with peddle pressures. What's
especially of interest is the problem seems to persist even when crews
are given special training about the problem.


I would guess that Airbus has a lot of pressure to peddle them! ;)

That said, a friend (AA -- ret) has no kind words for the 320 -- he much
preferred the Boeings.


There are some details here.

The more I fly and the older I get the more I want to be gentle with
the flight controls. Remember, fellow aviators, there are demons
lurking near the edges of the envelope.
