    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for specific Boeing 737 models due to safety concerns from engine fan blade-out (FBO) events. These incidents caused damage to the aircraft, including cracks in the primary exhaust nozzle. The FAA's directive mandates inspections and modifications, such as the installation of bridge brackets or serviceable nozzles, to ensure safety. Operators must also update their maintenance programs to include new airworthiness limitations to prevent future unsafe conditions.

This rule requires replacing or inspecting specific parts, updating maintenance programs, and addressing potential engine nacelle maintenance errors by using redesigned components and high-visibility paints. The changes aim to prevent conditions that could lead to an aircraft losing control or excessive drag during flight. Compliance is required by April 8, 2025, with the costs estimated at $7,650 per operator for updating programs.
