1 NTSB Board Meeting AA Flight 587 NTSB Board Meeting AA Flight 587 Rudder Control System Steven Magladry

2 NTSB Board Meeting AA Flight 587 Rudder Controls Rudder Control Characteristics Pedal Travel Pedal Force Airplane Response Rudder Control Sensitivity A300-600 – High sensitivity at accident airspeed Rudder Control Characteristics Pedal Travel Pedal Force Airplane Response Rudder Control Sensitivity A300-600 – High sensitivity at accident airspeed

3 NTSB Board Meeting AA Flight 587 Changes to Rudder Control System A300-B2B4 preceded the A300-600 Control force change Reduced pedal forces Rudder limiter design change Reduced pedal travel and force to reach full pedal travel A300-B2B4 preceded the A300-600 Control force change Reduced pedal forces Rudder limiter design change Reduced pedal travel and force to reach full pedal travel

4 Change to A300 Rudder Limiter System High Speed Characteristics Pedal Force Predecessor A300-B2B4 Predecessor A300-B2B4 Current A300-600 Current A300-600 125 pounds 32 pounds Predecessor A300-B2B4 Predecessor A300-B2B4 Current A300-600 Current A300-600 4 inches 1.2 inches Pedal Travel

5 A300-B2B4 & -600 Pedal Sensitivity Comparison Pedal Sensitivity, g’s per pound Calibrated Airspeed, Knots Accident Airspeed

6 NTSB Board Meeting AA Flight 587 High Speed Rudder Characteristics Compared to other airplanes: A300-600 has lightest pedal forces. A300-600 has among the shortest pedal travel. Rudder sensitivity of A300-600 is a concern. Compared to other airplanes: A300-600 has lightest pedal forces. A300-600 has among the shortest pedal travel.
