Missing important 737 accident
Does anyone know why the USAir Flight 427 accident (September 8, 1994) is not included in this list? The NTSB investigation of that one finally revealed it was a faulty PCU which caused the crash, as well as some other previous crashes and near crashes. The 1991 UAL Colorado Springs crash, was reopened and revised to state the probable cause was a defective PCU, as a result of the USAir Flight 427 investigation.

 * As far as I can tel USAir Flight 427 has been in this article for at least a year, probably longer. MilborneOne (talk) 13:46, 8 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks much. I got in too much of a hurry and looked in the wrong section. EditorASC (talk) 19:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Approaching airport to land
Why are so many of these when the plane was approaching in order to land? Either that or hijacking. Maybe I don't know much but it seems like the Boeing 737 planes are crappy and don't work well. Bucky winter soldier (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you have any suggestions to improve the article? Article talk pages are not a place to voice your opinions about aircraft, they are a place to discuss contributions to articles. -  ZLEA  T \ C 02:00, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry again. I am new here. Did not mean to be bothersome. Maybe if there is any info on why some of these failed upon coming in to land. Once again, my apologies. 🙏 Bucky winter soldier (talk) 02:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries. Take off and landing tend to be the most dangerous parts of a flight, as being low to the ground leaves little room for error.  Pilot error is also the leading cause of aviation accidents, and it's usually not due to a problem with the aircraft itself. -  ZLEA  T \ C 02:47, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Boeing
Do lots of Boeing planes have long lists of crashes like this? If so, I hate to say it, but maybe its not a good company. It was their repair that led to the crash of Japan Airlines flight 123 Bucky winter soldier (talk) 20:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not the number of accidents and incidents an aircraft has does not necessarily make an aircraft unsafe. The leading cause of aviation accidents is pilot error, which can happen to any aircraft.  Also, using an accident that happened almost four decades ago as an example of Boeing being "not a good company" does not make sense.  You also have to consider that Boeing is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world, and has produced tens of thousands off commercial aircraft, so the number of accidents and incidents involving Boeing aircraft will obviously be higher than most other companies.  That said, Boeing has made some arguable questionable decisions in the past few years, especially regarding the Boeing 737 MAX, but it is ultimately not up to Wikipedia to determine whether Boeing is "not a good company".  We go by what reliable sources say. -  ZLEA  T \ C 01:52, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I see. You have made good points. That makes sense. I guess I am a bit opinionated. Sorry🙏 Bucky winter soldier (talk) 02:15, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
