Flight Control System Malfunctions
VI. Rudder hardover condition 1.8.1.6.3.1
A. Indications
1. Severe yaw
2. Yaw-induced roll
3. Rudder pedal fully deflected
B. Verifications
1. Slip indicator off center
2. Visual confirmation by wingman or by looking in rear-view mirrors
C. Effects on flight safety
1. Aircraft instability increases with airspeed
2. Difficulty in maintaining directional control (both in flight and on
landing roll-out)
3. You cannot use nose wheel steering (NWS) because it interfaces
with the deflected rudder pedal
4. Overriding malfunction (by applying aileron) may cause pilot fatigue
5. Approach/stall speeds will be higher than normal
