    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5751
    Reading Time:about 13 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would require certain Boeing 737 models to replace passenger service unit (PSU)-mounted video monitors that lack secondary retention lanyards. This action is in response to reports of these monitors detaching during hard landings, which could pose a risk to passenger safety in emergencies. The FAA is requesting public comments on this proposal by March 3, 2025, to ensure the safety concerns are appropriately addressed in the fleet. The rule aims to prevent potential injuries by ensuring the monitors are securely attached.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make sure video screens inside some Boeing airplanes stay securely attached, so they're asking for new rules to add extra straps to these screens to keep everyone safe during bumpy landings. They’re inviting people to share their thoughts on this idea by March 2025.

The directive mandates inspections and required actions to address these cracks, aiming to prevent problems like uncontrolled decompression and loss of structural integrity. The rule is effective from March 30, 2021, and requires compliance using methods approved by the FAA. The document also includes guidance on the costs involved and identifies how alternative methods of compliance can be approved.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Defense (DoD) has announced the unclassified details of a potential arms sale. This involves the NATO Support and Procurement Agency buying maintenance and support services for their C-17 aircraft, at an estimated cost of $150 million. The sale is intended to enhance NATO's airlift capability and aligns with U.S. foreign policy goals of supporting NATO's security. The Boeing Company is set to be the principal contractor, and there will be no negative effect on U.S. defense readiness from this transaction.

    Simple Explanation

    The Defense Department is letting people know about a possible deal where they might sell services to help keep NATO's airplanes in good shape, costing about $150 million. Boeing, a big company, would do the work, and this would help NATO without making the U.S. military any less ready.
