“Can’t believe there’s another rudder issue with the 737 after 30 years ago. 2 complete aircraft lost and nearly a 3rd.”

What was the 3rd?

I just remember during that time there was another 737 that almost crashed for the same reason, but the crew got control of the plane in time.

[What was the 3rd?]

There was one that had the hard-over on the rudder by the valve failure (same as the others)

However, he had sufficient altitude and recognized that the rudder was doing the opposite of what he commanded.

That aircraft landed safely with no loss of life. It’s out there on YT. If I can find it I’ll post it to you.

Eastwind FL 517, June 9, 1996.

I was literally watching it last night.
