Probes point to rudder problems on 737s
Government investigators used simulations and analysis at an NTSB hearing to argue that unexpected rudder reversals caused three Boeing 737 crashes or near misses. The USAir 427 crash outside Pittsburgh in 1994, United 585 near Colorado Springs in 1991, and an Eastwind 737 incident near Richmond are examined. A redesign of the rudder system may be proposed.
