FAA Targets Boeing 737 Max Over Elevator Bearing Installation Concerns
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed an airworthiness directive targeting Boeing's 737 Max aircraft due to concerns over elevator bearing installation.
According to FlightGlobal, some bearings in the 737 Max elevator assemblies may have been installed without required sealant. This issue affects 95 US-registered examples of the plane.
The proposed directive aims to address this potential safety concern and ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent any issues related to the elevator bearing installation.
