From Times Wire Reports
The government called for faster installation of better flight recorders on Boeing 737 commercial jets. The Federal Aviation Administration proposed requiring airlines to install flight data recorders that can track more functions, especially those related to the rudder. The proposal comes after the National Transportation Safety Board ruled that a rudder-control valve caused the 1994 crash of USAir Flight 427 near Pittsburgh, killing all 132 people on board.
