after United Airlines pilots reported that part of the flight controls became jammed as they landed at Newark airport, last month.
The NTSB says none of the 161 people on United flight 1539 were injured and the plane returned to the gate, though United maintenance crews were able to "duplicate the reported rudder system malfunction" during a test flight three days later. The NTSB says the servo in question was disabled by United Airlines, but cold temperature tests by the company that makes an autopilot servo that is connected to the 737 Max 8 rudder controls, Collins Aerospace, as part of the investigation revealed the servo's "output crank arm would prevent the rudder pedals from moving."
