The NTSB expressed concerns over at least 40 airlines operating Boeing 737 planes with faulty rudder components, impacting safety across multiple fleets globally.
Investigators revealed that two identical rudder control components from different planes both failed due to moisture, raising alarm over assembly errors that increased vulnerability.
The NTSB criticized Boeing's manual for directing pilots to apply maximum force in jammed rudder scenarios, fearing it could lead to loss of control.
Chair Jennifer Homendy urged greater scrutiny from the FAA on safety issues surrounding Boeing, highlighting that prior warnings were not adequately addressed.
