23 NOV 2007 TSB issues final report on A310 loss of rudder incident
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) released its final report into the Air Transat loss of rudder incident that occurred on 06 March 2005.
The TSB investigation found that the A310 aircraft took off from Varadero, Cuba, most probably with pre-existing damage to the rudder. The separation of the rudder from the aircraft together with the findings of the investigation determined that inspection programs for this model of composite rudder are not adequate for the timely detection of defects. The consequences of a rudder separation include reduced directional control and possible separation of the vertical tail plane. (TSB)
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigated this occurrence for the purpose of advancing transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability.

Air Transat
Airbus A310-308 C-GPAT
Miami, Florida, 90 nm S
06 March 2005
Report Number A05F0047
At 0645 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Air Transat Flight 961 (TSC961), an Airbus A310-308 aircraft, departed Varadero, Cuba, for Québec, Quebec, with 9 crew members and 262 passengers on board. At approximately 0702 UTC, the aircraft was 90 nautical miles south of Miami, Florida, United States, and in level flight at flight level (FL) 350, when the flight crew heard a loud bang and felt some vibration. The aircraft entered a Dutch roll and the captain disconnected the autopilot to manually fly the aircraft. The aircraft climbed nearly 1000 feet while the captain tried to control the Dutch roll. The crew initiated a descent back to FL 350 and requested further descent and a possible diversion to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the descent, the Dutch roll intensity lessened and then stopped when the aircraft descended through FL 280. No emergency was declared. When the aircraft was abeam Miami, the crew decided to return to Varadero.
