The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to address a safety issue found in certain CFM International LEAP-1B engines. The problem involves a manufacturing defect in high-pressure compressor seals, which might cause damage to engine components during use. To resolve this, the FAA requires that operators perform specific inspections and replace the affected parts if necessary, to prevent potential engine failure and aircraft damage. These changes will take effect on February 12, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA found that some airplane engines might have a little mistake in how part of them was made, and it could hurt the engine. So, they are telling people to check those parts and fix them if needed to keep the planes safe.
