DEAR silverstrata

A 737 will not fall out of the sky if you cut all the hydraulics to the rudder.

I have a small, laminated type card that says I know stuff about the 737.

YOUR KNOWLEDGE of the 737 and certainly other types of airplanes is such that ANYTHING you say about airplanes is suspect.

Will any other 737 type rated pilots confirm that if the rudder loses all hydraulics you can still fly?

Will any other 737 type rated pilots confirm that turning off hydraulics to the rudder is part of the rudder hardover recovery?

SILVERSTRATA do you care to retract your statements about airplanes?

Will anyone else support my statements? esp 737 pilots?

for quite awhile, older 737s had memory items/QRH which included cutting the hydraulics to the rudder in case of hardover...NG models and modified models have additional protections and systems.

But dear strata, if you can't move the rudder, you can still get down in one piece
