Safety Recommendations A-04-44 through -45
************************************************************
The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the
Federal Aviation Administration:
Require Airbus to develop a design modification for the
A300-600 rudder travel limiter system so that it can respond
effectively to rapid airspeed changes such as those that might
be experienced during upsets and not be adversely affected by
pedal forces, and issue an airworthiness directive to require
the installation of that modification. (A-04-44)
Evaluate other transport-category airplanes with rudder
limiting systems to determine whether any of those systems
are unable to effectively respond to rapid airspeed changes
such as those that might be experienced during upsets, or
whether any of those systems are adversely affected by pedal
forces and, if so, require corrective modifications to those
systems. (A-04-45)
