Now I'm a bit confused...
The Boeing guy says don't use rudders unless XYZ which excludes countering turbulence at low level..and I would assume Airbus' advice is similar... so based on that the handling pilots' actions were ill advised at best...
And the Airbus apparently had known defects which would have caused the failure and should have prevented it from being operated commercially initially...
Does anyonelese think that somewhere along the line somebody allowed a plane with a known flaw to be operated in a manner inconsistent with the advice of reputable aircraft builders...
Now I know its not as simple as that but it really does beg the question...if the weaknesses were known and the flying techniques were also known (Im' making an assumption here that the advice from Airbus re rudder operations is not dissimilar to that from Boeing...) how did this airline manage to train its pilots to operate such an aircraft in such a manner? Its almost as if the knowledge from one source was not combined with the knowledge for another in order to create the full picture....very curious.
Joe...
604s are nice..don't have quite the same 'attitude' as a G550 tho'...but then nothing else really does....
