I have updated the information on the crash of UAL 585, to reflect the revised finding that a malfunction of the rudder PCU caused this crash, as well as the crash of USAir 427. Also, changed the notation that the female FO in the 585 crash, was the first female pilot to die in a US Airliner crash. She was the second one, having been defeated for that dubious honor, by Zilda Spadaro-Wolan, in the Hensen Airlines crash in 1985.

My sources for all the additions and changes are the relevant NTSB accident reports.

I have an FAQ on the history of the B-737 faulty PCU design and correcting AD, at:

I think it would be a highly relevant external link for this article, but only if the editors approve. --EditorASC 08:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

This page requires significant revision with regards to the valves and therefore rudder problems behind two Boeing 737 crashes: the 1991 United flight and a 1994 US Air flight. Londo06 06:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
