    The FAA has issued a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 777 series airplanes due to reports of cracks in the upper wing skin. This directive mandates repetitive inspections using a specific high-frequency eddy current method to detect cracks around certain fasteners. The goal is to address potential safety issues that could lead to loss of airplane control if not corrected. The directive takes effect on April 23, 2025, and outlines compliance and repair procedures for the affected aircraft.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if a big toy plane had a little crack on its wing that might get bigger. People who take care of real planes, like the Boeing 777, need to check for these cracks often so the plane stays safe to fly.

    This document is a correction to a previously published rule by the Federal Aviation Administration in the Department of Transportation. The correction changes the effective date in the rule from "April 18, 3036" to "April 16, 2025." Additionally, it corrects a section reference for airworthiness directives for De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited airplanes. The corrected effective date for the directive is April 16, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Aviation Administration made a mistake in the date for a safety rule about airplanes. They originally said the rule would start in the year 3036, which is way in the future by mistake, so they fixed it to say the rule starts on April 16, 2025, instead.
