NTSB urges Boeing to revise 737 MAX flight manuals due to rudder control system failure risk.

This follows a February incident where United Airlines pilots reported jammed rudder pedals during landing in Newark. The NTSB advises Boeing to revise flight manuals to prevent pilots from using excessive force, which could lead to loss of control. The FAA is monitoring the situation for potential corrective actions.
