    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing 787 models, effective May 2, 2025. This directive, prompted by possible misalignment issues during final assembly of airplane parts, requires inspections of parts on the horizontal stabilizer to ensure safety. The FAA reviewed and addressed public comments, including requests for inspection clarifications and corrections of part numbers. It concluded that the directive is necessary to address potential safety issues related to the airplanes' structural integrity and ensure safe flight and landing.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is making sure some Boeing airplanes are extra safe by checking certain parts to make sure they're in the right place; it’s like making sure a toy block tower doesn't wobble before playing with it.

The FAA is inviting public comments on this rule until March 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to change some rules about checking certain airplane parts called the horizontal stabilizer for rust or damage. They're fixing a mistake from earlier rules, making sure the checks are done safely without extra problems.
