NTSB Issues “Urgent” Safety Warning About Potential Rudder Failure For\u00a0Some Boeing 737s<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The National Transportation Safety Board issued urgent safety recommendations on Thursday for the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing to address “the potential for a jammed or restricted rudder control system” on\u00a0specific 737 Max and NG jets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The origin of the recommendation stems from a mid-air incident earlier this year in which the\u00a0rudder pedals – the pedals on the floor of a plane that looks like\u00a0the brake and gas pedals of a car or truck but control the aircraft’s\u00a0directional yaw – on a United Airlines Boeing 737-8 Max were “stuck” in the\u00a0neutral position during the landing rollout at Newark Liberty International Airport, Newark, New Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rudder controls…\u00a0<\/p>\n

After touching down, the United pilot used a nosewheel steering tiller to ensure the aircraft was not blown off the runway by crosswind. NTSB found one of the rudder control components, a rollout guidance actuator from Collins Aerospace, defective. In another incident, the actuator was found to be defective in a cold-weather environment. Collins notified Boeing that more than 353 actuators have been shipped to the company since 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Boeing’s 737 flight manual instructs pilots confronted with a jammed or restricted rudder to ‘overpower the jammed or restricted system (using) maximum force, including a combined effort of both pilots,'” the NTSB wrote in the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The NTSB expressed concern that this amount of force applied during landing or rollout could result in a large input to the rudder pedals and a sudden, large, and undesired rudder deflection that could unintentionally cause loss of control or departure from a runway,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

This marks yet another\u00a0setback for Boeing in what has been a challenging year for the US-based\u00a0aircraft manufacturer. Incidents have ranged from a mid-air door plug blowout in January to a series of mid-air\u00a0mishaps across the country. Then, two weeks ago, there was a massive strike<\/a> involving 33,000 unionized employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With many of Boeing’s employees walking the picket line, who will fix the\u00a0rudder control components??<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
