If a landing must be made with a jammed rudder, the guidance indicates that:

• A. The landing should be aborted
• B. The approach should continue with rudder central
• C. The situation requires immediate diversion
• D. Both answers are correct

Answer: (D)

When the rudder is jammed, you lose effective yaw control, which makes tracking the runway and landing safely extremely uncertain. In that situation, the safest approach is to reassess and choose a path that reduces risk. The guidance supports two practical options depending on the specifics of the approach: abort the landing and divert to another suitable airport, or divert immediately if continued approach to the current field cannot be made safe. Continuing the approach with the rudder centered is not reliable when the rudder is jammed, because you cannot guarantee proper alignment or control on final. Therefore, both aborting the landing and diverting, or diverting right away if needed, are considered correct responses depending on the circumstances.
