FAA Orders Crack Inspections for Hundreds of Boeing 737 Max Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered crack inspections for hundreds of Boeing 737 Max jets, following recent reports of cracks in the aircraft's engine mounts.

The FAA said that over 1,000 planes would be affected by the order, which is aimed at ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. The inspection is expected to take place within the next few weeks.

This move comes after several airlines reported finding cracks in the engine mounts of their Boeing 737 Max jets during routine maintenance checks. The FAA has said that while these cracks are not a major concern, they do pose a risk if left unchecked.
