And what now is the thing that Evan shouldn't know?
Evan feels that the pilot, in response to poor training and screening, deliberately slammed the rudder back and forth, repeatedly, because he specifically wanted to be a cowboy, improvising pilot and wanted to use rudder BECAUSE it goes against the Airbus A300B4-605R FCOMPOHQRH.
3BS feels that the pilot felt some wake turbulence and made some modest, appropriate rudder inputs (Maybe 1.25" and 10 lbs...not_unlike the landing fake cub in this video). He used the rudder because that's a kinda fundamental control to manage yaw in lots of airplanes in lots of circumstances. Unfortunately, his modest light inputs were grossly amplified to the full, available rudder deflection by a poorly designed airplane, resulting in an unfortunate, systematic oscillation which broke the cheap-ass composite tail off of the airplane.
The truth may be in the middle, but I don't feel the same need as Evan to make the pilot out as an idiot.

rudder (dt. Seitenruder) >> The pedals at your feet, in a Cessna or in a B744. For use only with care and when ct has published the weather for you on final.
aileron (dt. Querruder) >> The difference between a Cessna and an A320. Stick or not, this is the question.
elevator (dt. Höhenruder) >> Ask Flight Captain Sullenberger, with this stick you can be a hero, or dead on impact (cp AF-A332).
And what now is the thing that Evan shouldn't know?
Dear greetings my friend.

Well rudders are a flight control just like ailerons and elevators. If you are in a position where you need max deflection on any one, you shouldn't be there. When i started flying jets I was told you don't need the rudders.
Here's another one: when transitioning into the Hawker 1000 we had to do some landings in the a/c. The instructor told us to trim the nose down on final so that in the event of a go-around you wouldn't have to trim as the flaps retracted to 20 deg. 'Distraction' boom! ground contact. don't believe everything you hear.

1.25” pedal reversals (kind of seen in the OP) are generally not_a structural nor even a comfort issue. (Mild sarcasm may be present with one word)

And, although I’m an outsider, rudders might have some value for yaw control.

Light, 1.25” pedal inputs result in light rudder deflections in this type.Last edited by 3WE; 2023-03-01, 13:11.

For those of you that have never worked inside the industry, there is an old saying.
"Those that can do, those that can't teach. Those that can't teach become management"

Well try this on for size. Teaching in the DC-8 and 747, IOE, Initial Operating Experience. Both a/c are very susceptible to sucking up things with the outboard engines while reversing on landing, especially the DC-8 so you need to land in the middle of the runway. So the way I taught landings and especially Xwind landings was to line up on final, keep the wings level with the ailerons and use the rudders to crab into the wind. Making small crab angles allowed you to stay on the centerline. Especially on the 747 you could stay lined up and move 10-15 ft and when you eased off on the rudder it would stop right there. If you tried banking to move 10-15ft you had so much inertia it would continue moving left or right. Now you have been working the rudders on final and at the flare you can feel just how much rudder to remove the crab for the landing.

Made no sense to me either. I thought it was my Cub at first!It's actually not a real Cub. It's a Carbon Cub. It has lights and an electric system. Probably has an electric starter and probably cost 150k!
