The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive for certain Boeing Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. This directive was created after an incident where a Boeing MD-11F experienced an unexpected thrust reverser deployment during flight. As a result, the directive mandates detailed inspections and wire integrity tests for various airplane components including wire harnesses and junction boxes. The directive requires reporting the inspection results to ensure safety and prevent future occurrences, effective January 13, 2025. Feedback from stakeholders, such as Boeing and FedEx, was considered in shaping the final rule.

The executive order, titled "Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy," directs the reduction of certain non-essential federal government functions and entities.

Agency heads must report compliance within 7 days, and future funding requests may be rejected if they don't align with this order. The order must comply with existing laws and is not intended to provide legal rights to any parties.
