The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule that would replace an older rule, known as Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-14-13. This new rule targets certain models of Boeing 737 airplanes, as reports have shown problems with the rudder pedal cover screws, which could impact the safe operation of the plane. The proposal requires modifications to the rudder pedal covers and shrouds on affected airplanes. The FAA is asking the public for comments on this rule by March 8, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to change a rule because some screws on certain Boeing airplanes can come loose and cause problems with how the plane is controlled. They are asking people to fix the parts where the pedals are and want to hear what others think by March 8, 2021.
