    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 14024
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule concerning certain Boeing Model 777 airplanes. This rule was prompted by an issue with the glideslope beam during landing, which could lead to misleading flight director guidance and possibly cause a late touchdown, runway excursion, or crash. To address this, the FAA requires the installation of new autopilot flight director software and the completion of a software configuration check. This measure is intended to enhance the safety of these aircraft.
