so you're trying to tell me the A300/310 has a total of 2" rudder peddle travel between 0 and full deflection? Seriously? Either you're dead wrong (my guess), or it is a very bad design indeed... I doubt it would pass FAA certification with a 2" travel.... I can tell you for sure the A320 is a LOT more than 2"..
BTW... NTSB faulted the FO and the training.
