This report documents the inexplicable loss of United Airlines flight 585, a Boeing 747-291, after the airplane had completed its turn onto the final approach course to runway 35 at Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, Colorado Springs, Colorado, on March 3, 1991. The safety issues discussed in the report are the potential meterological hazards to airplanes in the area of Colorado Springs, potential airplane or systems anomalie that could have precipitated a loss of control, and the design of the main rudder power control unit servo valve that could present significant flight control difficulties under certain circumstances. Recommendations concerning these issues were addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration.

This amended report explains the accident involving United Airlines flight 585, a Boeing 737-200, on its way from Denver to Colorado Springs, which crashed on March 3, 1991 near Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. Only after the crash of USAir 427 in 1994 and a similar incident with Eastwind 517 in 1996 the NTSB was able to pinpoint the cause of this crash: jammed rudder. The Boeing 737 has a history of rudder system-related anomalies, this finally solved the mystery of sudden jamming of the rudders of this aircraft.
