FAA Orders 737 Max Inspections, Proposes Safety Fix for 787 Engine

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered inspections of Boeing's 737 Max aircraft due to concerns over its structural integrity. The agency is targeting a specific issue that could cause a dual engine failure.

The FAA is also proposing a safety fix for the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine used in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Debris from an uncontained Trent 1000 failure could damage the aircraft's opposite-side engine, according to the agency.

The proposed fix aims to reduce the risk of a dual engine failure by addressing the potential for debris to be ingested into the engine. The FAA has not specified a timeline for implementing the safety fix.
