Problems discovered with rudder control systems on Boeing 737 aircraft have prompted the Federal Aviation Administration engineering board to recommend redesign of the system, according to a report in today's editions of the Washington Post.

Citing government and aviation industry officials, the newspaper said that the recommendation will be made in response to tests that indicated the system could fail in several ways that, however unlikely, could cause the rudder to move unexpectedly.
