Superb book on the 737 Uncommanded Rudder Accidents
A book called "Flight 427 - Anatomy of an Air Disaster has just arrived on the book shelves in Australia. It deals with the saga of the 737 uncommanded rudder and apparent rudder reversals that may have been the cause of several 737 accidents and incidents. The author is Gerry Byrne, and I must say it is absolutely rivetting reading. 289 pages. $27.50 US. Copernicus Books.
It is not the usual journalistic drama stuff that you read in the media, but a fascinating account of the accident investigation teams and the politics involved. I simply could not put it down.
In my view it is vital reading for all 737 Classic and NG crews -especially the chapter on simulator training for the event.
