Request for a citation on the American Airlines 587 Rudder travel limiter unit malfunction

[edit]

I'm going to make an attempt to look for a citation on my own. Also, I am not trying to dispute the facts noted in this article. I simply want to help with a citation or two. as many of you probably know American Airlines 587 had a probable cause determination by the NTSB which put most of the blame upon the pilot flying. Therefore, many reports subsequent to the NTSB final report emphasize this pilot error more than other factors such as the rudder of the A300-600 being a over 10 times more sensitive than any other commercial transport category aircraft as of at least March of 2004 when American Airlines made their own submission to the National transportation safety board. That might work well as a citation. Or as a source to scour. There's actually one other submission to the NTSB from a group called The allied pilots association for the flight of American Airlines 587 on November 12th of 2001 which is very much in line with the American Airlines submission aforementioned.
