The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued an urgent safety recommendation to Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following an incident at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in February 2024, when the rudder pedals jammed on a United Airlines 737 MAX 8. The aircraft potentially affected include certain Boeing 737NGs and 737 MAXs equipped with a Collins Aerospace SVO-730 rudder rollout guidance actuator that tests found to be defected.  Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dGGXdY4j #AviationTalk #aviationnews #avgeek #aviation

🚨 Safety alert for Boeing 737 NG and MAX! 🚨 The NTSB has issued urgent recommendations to Boeing and the FAA after discovering possible failures in the rudder control system of these airplanes 🛫. The problem is due to faulty actuators from Collins Aerospace, which could jam the rudder at critical times, such as landing ⚠️. This defect was detected following a February incident with a United Airlines 737 MAX, in which the rudder jammed during landing 😬. Although there were no injuries, it was revealed that moisture in the actuators can freeze and limit their operation in low temperatures ❄️. The NTSB is asking to review safety procedures and evaluate whether these actuators should be replaced 🔧. What are your thoughts on this challenge for Boeing and aviation safety? Should operators replace these actuators as soon as possible? 💭👇 #formaero #Aviation #AviationSafety #Boeing #FAA #NTSB

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that it will continue to hold Boeing accountable after reviewing the company’s roadmap to fix its systemic safety and quality-control issues. Following the January 5, 2024, Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX door plug incident, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker directed the aircraft manufacturer to develop a comprehensive action plan to set a new standard for safety and how the company conducts business. According to Boeing, the roadmap is necessary to reset the safety culture at Boeing, as well as address the findings of the FAA’s special audit and the expert review panel report.  Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dGuQnCvM #AviationTalk #aviationnews #avgeek #aviation #safety

On Wednesday, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration announced that Boeing must formulate a comprehensive plan to address "systemic quality-control issues" within the next 90 days. This directive comes in the aftermath of a mid-air emergency last month, which has heightened new safety concerns. The FAA is closely monitoring and enforcing measures to enhance the overall safety of Boeing's operations.

#Competitiveness #versus #safety #in #aviation: #the_case_of_Boeing_737_MAX_9 Actually a few people warned that Boeing was in rush in launching is new brand into the market. Lately events like the gaping hole opened midair in the airplane’s side arose awareness and push the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to order the grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 airplanes to run inspections. Therefore, considering the argument of people who warned about some failures in the system of those airplanes (Boeing 737 MAX 9) we wonder whether or not Boeing fulfilled safety measures. So, we call upon government to not be complacent. #policymalking #complacency #awareness #Boeing737MAX9 #the_gaping_hole_opened_midair_in_the_airplane_s_side #Jonathanmuya #analysis

🛫 FAA Intensifies Scrutiny on Boeing: Urges Inspection of 737-900ER Jets In the wake of a mid-air panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 jet, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has heightened its focus on Boeing. The incident, which occurred on January 5, led to a significant hole in the aircraft. As a response, the FAA has recommended that airlines operating Boeing 737-900ER jets conduct inspections on door plugs to ensure proper securing. Some operators have reported unspecified issues with bolts during inspections. In an effort to address concerns, Boeing has appointed an independent advisor to examine quality control within its manufacturing processes. Meanwhile, 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes have been grounded following the incident on January 5. The aviation industry is closely monitoring developments as regulators and Boeing work to ensure the safety and reliability of these aircraft. #Boeing #AviationSafety #FAA #Boeing737 #AirTravel #IndustryNews ✈️

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recommended that airlines operating Boeing 737-900ER jets inspect door plugs to ensure that they are properly secured after some operators reported unspecified issues with bolts upon inspections. Regulators have stepped up scrutiny on Boeing after a January 5 mid-air panel blowout on an eight-week-old Alaska Airlines MAX 9 jet that left a gaping hole in the aircraft. Boeing has sought to contain the damage, appointing an independent advisor to examine quality control in its manufacturing processes while numerous planes remain grounded. The FAA grounded 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes after the January 5 incident. Read: https://lnkd.in/dX5WXFgf

🔍 FAA Increases Oversight on Boeing Amid Safety Concerns ✈️ The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is intensifying its scrutiny of Boeing's 737-9 Max production following the recent Alaska Airlines incident. A door plug panel detachment raised manufacturing and safety concerns, prompting the FAA to ground approximately 171 Boeing aircraft. The agency will audit the production line and suppliers, evaluate quality assurance compliance, and assess safety risks associated with delegated authority. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker emphasizes the need to re-examine authority delegation amid multiple production-related issues. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun acknowledges the importance of every detail in addressing safety matters. The FAA's proactive approach reflects a commitment to reducing risks and ensuring air travel safety. 🛫 #LifeWorkSearch #AviationSafety #FAA#QualityAssurance https://lnkd.in/e4pjbMkD

FAA completes six-week audit of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems: results A six-week audit, carried out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems has discovered a number of safety issues. The audit was actioned by the FAA after Alaska Airlines flight 1282 suffered a rapid decompression when a left mid-cabin door plug separated from the aircraft at 16,000 feet on January 5, 2024. The findings announced by the FAA on March 4, 2024, represent more troubling news for Boeing and its partner Spirit.

Boeing faces significant hurdles in enhancing aircraft safety, as pointed out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Following an incident where a door panel detached during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, the FAA has given Boeing 90 days to submit a comprehensive plan addressing these critical safety concerns. 🔍 The FAA's Michael Whitaker emphasised that the plan is merely the start of a rigorous process to ensure Boeing meets the necessary safety standards. With Boeing's CEO set to step down later this year amidst these challenges, the aviation community watches closely as the company aims to redefine its commitment to safety and quality. 🛠️ As stakeholders in aerospace, let's discuss how such rigorous oversight can push for better safety protocols and industry standards. How can other companies learn from Boeing's scrutiny? What is the role of Inspection? #Aerospace #SafetyFirst #Boeing #FAA #AviationIndustry #Regulator #Inspection #Safety
