The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule, with corrections, for an airworthiness directive concerning Boeing 737 series airplanes. This rule addresses errors in previously published information related to fan blade out conditions and engine nacelle maintenance on these airplanes. It ensures that the correct specifications are used for maintaining these aircraft to prevent unsafe conditions during flight. The effective date for these corrections remains April 8, 2025, and it does not impose any additional burden on operators.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule for a new airworthiness directive (AD) affecting all Boeing 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. This AD was introduced because two engine fan blade-out events led to engine parts separating from the planes, causing safety issues. The directive requires airlines to replace certain parts on the planes and update maintenance programs to ensure safety. This rule, effective April 8, 2025, aims to prevent future incidents that could lead to loss of control or rapid decompression.
