Wasn't one of the problems identifying rudder hard overs in post accident/incident investigations that there were no abnormalities when the rudder actuators were physically examined? I'm not positive, but I'm remembering something about this after reading about the 427 accident.Originally Posted by ewrbasedpilot
Just jumpseated home this morning and the captain flying the flight said he'd spoken to a friend of his who'd just been at the scene in Denver. According to him (rumor, so please treat it as such), they've already torn apart the rudder and everything was functioning normally. Even if they had a rudder hardover, the tiller should still work since it overrides the pedals though, correct? Not that you'd think quick enough to jump back on the tiller at that high of a speed anyways, but it's a thought....
