You Won't Believe What Happened to United 737 MAX! Here's Why
Recently, the NTSB has issued an urgent safety warning regarding the Boeing 737 Max, even some older 737 NG models. This issue could pose a significant danger while the aircraft is in flight, and the consequences could be dire if it goes undetected.
So, what exactly is the problem, what potential risks does it carry, and why Boeing has so much PROBLEM? Let's explore the answers in today's episode!
Emergency Safety Recommendations from the NTSB
On September 26, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB for short) issued an emergency safety recommendation concerning the vertical stabilizer system on Boeing 737 aircraft. The document indicated that in certain circumstances, this system could experience issues, leading to a phenomenon of being stuck or limited operational capability. The vertical stabilizer, located at the rear of the tail, plays a crucial role in controlling the aircraft around the yaw axis, ensuring stability and control during flight, especially during crosswind landings or engine failures.
The specific issue highlighted was related to an incident that occurred on February 6, 2024, when United Airlines Flight 1539 from Nassau, Bahamas, to New York faced an unexpected situation. Throughout the flight, everything went smoothly until the aircraft landed. Just as the captain attempted to use the vertical stabilizer to keep the aircraft aligned on the runway, he discovered that the rudder pedals were stuck and unresponsive to his inputs.

In a swift moment, the captain decided to use the left rudder to control the nosewheel and maintain directional control. Despite the high-pressure situation, the crew executed every maneuver successfully, and the aircraft landed safely without any incidents. However, as the aircraft taxied to the gate, the first officer checked his rudder pedals and discovered that they experienced a similar issue.
After the incident, when engineers from United Airlines examined the aircraft, they could not pinpoint a clear fault in the vertical stabilizer system. However, when the data from the black box was downloaded, they realized that the rudder had been stuck throughout the landing process and required significant force from the pedals to free it. To clarify the issue, United Airlines conducted a test flight three days later and successfully recreated a similar scenario.

This led to an investigation by the NTSB, which invited stakeholders, including United Airlines, Boeing, the FAA, and Collins Aerospace, to participate. The issue was related to a component known as the ''rollout guidance actuator,'' produced by Collins. The NTSB found that this component functioned normally under standard temperature conditions but experienced significant performance degradation when tested in cold conditions.
