The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a new rule to replace an older directive for Boeing 787 airplanes to fix a potential safety issue. This new rule requires changes to maintenance programs and specific parts on the planes to ensure the engine fire handle works correctly and prevent potential fire hazards. The rule mandates these changes be made by a certain date and prohibits the installation of certain older parts. The FAA took public comments into account before finalizing the rule, which aims to enhance aviation safety without imposing significant economic impacts.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is telling the people who fly Boeing 787 airplanes that they need to check and fix something that might cause a fire to keep everyone safe. They also said these changes shouldn't cost too much money and asked for people’s opinions before making the rule.
