The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a 'Dutch roll' incident involving a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max plane flying to California in May.
The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation after a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max plane experienced a "Dutch roll" motion on a May 25 flight from Phoenix to Oakland, causing "substantial" damage to the aircraft. Documentation on Boeing’s website describes a Dutch roll as when the nose of the plane "may go left to right as the airplane simultaneously banks side to side." The maneuver is caused by "wind or pilot input.
The FAA and Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment from FOX Business. Boeing says on its website that "Ice skaters use the outer edge of their skates to propel themselves across the ice, rocking from side to side while also moving to the left, then to the right and back again.
