Pilots have been taught for years that maneuvering speed means that you can put
in full control and not overstress the airplane. Never have I read that there were exceptions or qualifications to that definition, that is until now. Funny thing about this, apparantly Airbus recommended that in a procedure to lower the landing gear using the backup system they suggested yawing the airplane back and forth to help latch the gear down. Unless there is a way to do this without pushing the rudder back and forth doesn't this seem to invite a Va problem? Where were the Va experts when this procedure was written? |
