All this talk about reducing speed in rough conditions!. Seems pretty obvious to me that if it is rough you reduce speed to reduce the strain on the plane.
Its just what you would do in your car. If its rough you take your foot off the pedal.
Interesting piece about the pilot tearing the fin off an Airbus by hammering the fin from side to side. I thought the basic design philosophy of the Airbus was that the pilots inputs were smoothed by putting them through a computer which stopped him doing that sort of thing.
Flying to New Zealand in Feb. and I have specified no flights by Airbus. Feel a bit of a traitor as the wings are built only about 20 miles from home but I don`t like some of the stuff which is circulating on the net. In fact there is so much of it I wonder sometimes if some of the stories are not perpetrated by Boeing.
Cheers
Pat

Hi Tony,
i can see myself flying down from 40,000 feet sitting on the main spar. i remember a guy who landed about 3 miles from home during the war who was the rear gunner in a Lanc which had been badly shot up and was struggling to get back to base when the fuselage fell in half. The gunner rode the rear turret down and got away with being fairly badly banged up, but survived.
Cheers
Pat
