NTSB Publishes Final Report on AAL 587 Crash

The NTSB has issued Aviation Accident Report AAR-04/04 and posted it to their web site for public dissemination. The report discusses the "In-Flight Separation of Vertical Stabilizer, American Airlines Flight 587 Airbus Industrie A300-605R, N14053 Belle Harbor, New York, November 12, 2001."

This report explains the accident involving American Airlines flight 587, an Airbus Industrie A300-605R, N14053, which crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbor, New York, following the in-flight separation of the airplane’s vertical stabilizer and rudder. The safety issues discussed in this report focus on characteristics of the A300-600 rudder control system design, A300-600 rudder pedal inputs at high airspeeds, aircraft-pilot coupling, flight operations at or below an airplane’s design maneuvering speed, and upset recovery training programs. Safety recommendations concerning these issues are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Direction Général de l’Aviation Civile.
