I subscribe to an aviation safety web service. The subject report came from them. Here is their introduction to the report:
“And this B737 operator gets the bad housekeeping award for inducing a "rudder malfunction" with a scrub brush and general crud in the bilge.”
The official NTSB report is yet to be issued.
Regarding Affect Vs Effect I will have to stick with the latter no matter how much it effends / affends any member of this forum.
