Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule to inspect certain Boeing 767 airplanes for cracks in specific areas, due to a discovered defect at a fastener hole. This rule, part of an Airworthiness Directive (AD), requires owners to conduct inspections and make any necessary repairs to avoid compromising the planes' structural integrity. The rule aims to ensure safety by addressing potential issues before they become serious. Comments on this proposal are invited until May 27, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure certain Boeing planes are safe by checking for cracks, kind of like checking a toy to make sure it isn't broken. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this plan by the end of May 2025.
