  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8914
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has withdrawn a proposed rule intended to update safety requirements for certain Boeing 787 airplanes due to concerns about water leaks that could affect flight equipment. The initial proposal stemmed from reports of water pressure issues and missing safety straps on clamshell couplings. However, Boeing informed the FAA that not all inspection areas for the galleys were addressed, prompting the withdrawal of the rule. The FAA intends to consider additional rulemaking to include the necessary safety measures and factors concerning the 787-10 model that were previously omitted.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA had an idea to make some airplanes safer by checking for parts that might cause water leaks, but they found out their plan wasn't complete enough. So, they're going to take more time to figure out the best way to fix the problem.
