The left rudder would operate normally since the RH [right-hand] nosewheel steering tube assembly could still operate in the compression mode. Furthermore, in this condition, the automatic centring action of the nose gear as the aircraft lifted off would have resulted in the application of two to four degrees of left rudder deflection. This is due to the left-hand rudder centring spring taking up the slack introduced in the right-hand rudder cable by the right-hand rudder pedal being moved aft of its normal position due to the shortened length of the RH nosewheel steering tube assembly. 2, record 2, English, - centering%20spring

La commande de direction vers la gauche aurait fonctionné normalement puisque l'ensemble de droite des tubes d’orientation du train avant pouvait toujours fonctionner en mode de compression. Qui plus est, dans une telle situation, le centrage automatique du train avant au moment du décollage aurait provoqué l'apparition d’un braquage de la direction de deux à quatre degrés vers la gauche. Ce phénomène est dû au fait que le ressort de centrage gauche de la direction a compensé pour le mou apparu dans le câble droit de la direction à la suite du déplacement de la pédale droite du palonnier en arrière de sa position normale à cause de la longueur moindre de l'ensemble de droite des tubes d’orientation du train avant. 2, record 2, French, - ressort%20de%20centrage

[L']indicateur paravisuel est un instrument qui assiste le pilote par mauvaise visibilité en offrant un guidage de secours en cas de désengagement du pilot automatique. Le guidage au PVI repose essentiellement sur le faisceau ILS/Loc, qui donne l'axe de piste, complété par des informations accélérométriques issues des centrales inertielles. Grâce à cet indicateur, la portée visuelle minimale requise pour le décollage tombe à 75 mètres contre 150 actuellement. Imitant les indicateurs de dérapage, le PVI affiche sur son écran à cristaux liquides une bille que le pilote doit maintenir centrée au moyen des pédales de palonnier pour garantir l'alignement de l'avion avec la piste. Il est implanté sous l'auvent, tout en haut de la planche de bord, pour permettre au pilote de voir à la fois la piste et la ville. 1, record 3, French, - indicateur%20paravisuel
