US NTSB investigates "stuck" rudder pedal incident on United Airlines.

The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating an incident involving a "stuck" rudder pedal on a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight that landed at Newark Airport on February 6th. The plane taxied to the gate without incident, and there were no injuries among the 161 passengers and crew. During the landing rollout, the rudder pedals did not move in response to normal application of foot pressure, but they started working again after the plane reached the gate. This is the first reported rudder-response issue on a Boeing 737 MAX.
