Maximum rudder deflection is controlled by rudder travel limiter.
2.
The cracking of a solder joint resulted in the failure of the Rudder Travel Limiter Unit four times during the flight.
3.
An outer wing leading edge droop ( and later vortilons on some examples ) was added to alleviate this problem and rudder travel was reduced.
4.
The rudder travel limiter in the Airbus A300-600 is controlled by the Feel and Limitation Computers ( FLC ) maintaining sufficient yaw control within the entire flight envelope and limiting excessive lateral loads on the rudder and vertical stabilizer.
