Just my 2 cents.

I rather like to listen to your $.02 Dave, and have to hijack this thread to seek you opinion on the A300-600R. With the Airbus philosophy of letting the computer keep the control surfaces within operating limits, and not allow the pilot to override, how was it possible for the pilot of the A300-600R to exceed the design limits for the tail by more than 50%.
It appears that Airbus does not know the limit for the tail, or, they have failed to properly program the flight control system.
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Do you believe that the pilot exceeded the design load for the tail by more than 50%?
