This follows \u200ban\u200c investigation into a February 6 incident where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mid-air-blowout-puts-boeing-back-in-the-hot-seat\/\" title=\"Boeing faces scrutiny after mid-air blowout\">rudder system<\/a> of a United Airlines 737-8 MAX malfunctioned during landing, although no \u200dinjuries occurred. The NTSB identified possible issues with a\u2064 component known as the rollout guidance actuator, manufactured by Collins Aerospace. <\/p>\n<p>During cold temperature testing, the\u2062 actuator&#8217;s functionality was found to be severely affected, with moisture potentially\u2064 entering the system and freezing,\u2062 which compromises rudder movement. Since 2017, over 353 of these actuators \u2062have been supplied \u2062to Boeing, though the FAA noted that United\u2064 Airlines is\u2062 currently the only U.S. airline\u2064 utilizing these parts, which they \u200dbelieve are now out \u200cof service.<\/p>\n<p>The NTSB has urged Boeing to make crews aware of this\u2062 potential issue, while the FAA\u200b will review possible corrective actions based on the NTSB&#8217;s recommendations. Boeing has indicated \u200cplans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-texas-democrats-who-fled-state-to-subvert-democracy-test-positive-for-covid-19-after-meeting-kamala-harris\/\" title=\"3 Texas Democrats Who Fled State To Subvert Democracy Test Positive For COVID-19 After Meeting Kamala Harris\">provide additional guidance<\/a> regarding this condition and has already informed operators about the\u2064 risks associated with the actuator.<\/p>\n<p>This incident adds to a series of recent safety\u200d concerns for Boeing, stemming from various\u200b issues that have \u200darisen over the past several months.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some Boeing 737s could have a rudder system malfunction, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.<\/p>\n<p>What the NTSB called &ldquo;Urgent Safety Recommendations&rdquo; apply to some of Boeing&rsquo;s B-737NG and 737MAX planes, according to a statement on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/news\/press-releases\/Pages\/NR20240926.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NTSB website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The NTSB said the recommendation stemmed from its investigation of a Feb. 6 incident in which the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-southwest-jet-dutch-roll-parked-outside-severe-storm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> rudder<\/a> of a United Airlines 737-8 MAX was stuck during landing.<\/p>\n<p>No one was hurt in the incident, and the captain used other features of the plane to control it.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators focused on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eu-president-on-ukraine-they-belong-to-us-we-want-them-in\/\" title=\"EU President on Ukraine: &#039;They Belong to Us...

The NTSB issued &#8220;Urgent Safety Recommendations&#8221; for certain B-737NG and 737MAX aircraft following an investigation into a February 6 incident where the rudder of a United Airlines 737-8 MAX became stuck during landing. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and the captain managed to control the aircraft using other systems. Investigators identified a component called the rollout guidance actuator from Collins Aerospace as a focus of concern. The NTSB noted that cold weather testing revealed significant issues with this part&#8217;s functionality. Collins Aerospace later discovered a manufacturing defect that allowed moisture to enter and freeze within the rudder system, restricting its movement. Since 2017, over 353 actuators have been supplied to Boeing. The NTSB is urging Boeing to inform flight crews about this potential issue while the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will decide if these parts need removal. According to USA Today, United Airlines was found to be the only U.S. airline using these components and it is believed they are no longer in operation. The FAA stated it has been closely monitoring this situation as part of its investigation process and plans to hold a review board meeting based on interim recommendations from the NTSB for further action tomorrow. In response, Boeing announced it would provide additional guidance regarding this issue and had previously notified affected operators about potential concerns with the actuator in August, emphasizing that their rudder system has multiple layers of redundancy. Reports indicate that nine planes had this affected part installed on them; this incident adds to ongoing safety challenges faced by Boeing since January when an Alaska Airlines plane experienced an incident involving a door detaching mid-flight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2347291,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Boeing-737.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[41949,38144,34447,19475,41948],"class_list":["post-2347290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-aircraft-incidents","tag-aviation-safety","tag-boeing-737","tag-ntsb","tag-urgent-warning"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Boeing-737.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2347290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2347291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2347290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2347290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2347290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
