   The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued urgent safety   
   recommendations on Thursday to Boeing and the Federal Aviation   
   Administration (FAA) in response to the potential for a jammed or   
   restricted rudder control system on some 737 Next-Generation and 737 Max 8   
   aircraft.   
      
   The rudder controls the side-to-side movement of the nose of the aircraft,   
   otherwise known as the yaw motion.   
      
   The agency is in the midst of investigating a February incident in which   
   the rudder pedals on a United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 were “stuck” in   
   their neutral position during the landing rollout at Newark Liberty   
   International Airport in New Jersey.   
      
   At the time, the captain had to rely on the nosewheel steering tiller to   
   control the airplane’s direction after touching down, the NTSB said.   
      
   The pilots reported that the plane was able to taxi to the gate “without   
   further incident” and all 155 passengers and six crew members were able to   
   deplane. No injuries were reported.   
      
   As part of the investigation, NTSB investigators tested one of the rudder   
   control components from the incident airplane at the component’s   
   manufacturer, Collins Aerospace.   
      
   After conducting testing in a cold environment, investigators discovered   
   that the function of the component was “significantly compromised.”   
   Collins Aerospace subsequently discovered that the component was   
   incorrectly assembled during production.   
      
   As part of Boeing’s 737 flight manual, pilots that have a jammed or   
   restricted rudder are instructed to “overpower the jammed or restricted   
   system [using] maximum force, including a combined effort of both pilots.”   
      
   However, NTSB investigators expressed concern that this amount of force   
   applied either 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. ”   
      
   Among its recommendations, the agency suggested that the airplane   
   manufacturer determine “appropriate flight crew responses besides applying   
   maximum pedal force” for such situations in flight or during landing.
