The rudder pedal stiffness was found to be due to artificial feel being in autopilot mode while the autopilot is disengaged; caused by jamming of the artificial feel AP-Mode disengagement lever.   Amendment 1 introduced another modification as new cases of stiff rudder pedals were reported after embodiment of the previously required modification.   Amendment 2 is issued to introduce Revision 1 of the Requirement document which clarifies the Accomplishment Instructions.   The original issue of this Directive became effective on 17 June 1999.   Amendment 1 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 2 November 2000.
