NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a safety alert to airlines operating Boeing 737 aircraft, following warnings from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) about a potential risk from jammed rudder control systems. The NTSB highlighted concerns related to Boeing 737 planes equipped with Collins Aerospace SVO-730 Rudder Rollout Guidance Actuators.
In its interim safety recommendations issued today, the DGCA instructed Indian operators to perform a safety risk assessment on affected aircraft.
