FAA noted that airlines operating these aircraft need to ensure that the aircraft’s oxygen generators “are in the proper position” and correct any problems they may encounter.
The overhauls and repairs must be carried out within a maximum period of 120 to 150 days, depending on the configuration of the aircraft, EFE reported.
