The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Wednesday issued a directive for Boeing requiring operators of 737 MAX airplanes to conduct additional inspections for the plane\u2019s automated flight control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The directive makes mandatory instructions released by Boeing in December that recommend planes with more than 6,000 flight hours be subject to specific electronic checks. MCAS, an automated flight control system on the 737 MAX, was tied to two fatal 737 MAX crashes that led to the plane\u2019s 20-month grounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three repetitive inspections are to be done during existing maintenance programs, the FAA said, Reuters <\/a>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA also issued a notice on Wednesday called a Continued Airworthiness Notification to the International Community (CANIC) \u201cto highlight the importance of these inspections to other international regulators and to operators outside the United States.\u201d The directive impacts about 72 U.S.-registered airplanes and 389 airplanes worldwide, the FAA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA said the directive is necessary because a \u201cpotential latent failure of a flight control system function\u201d if combined with \u201cunusual flight maneuvers or with another flight control system failure\u201d could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA said all operators of U.S.-registered 737 MAX airplanes have already included these inspections in their maintenance programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
