U.S. authorities on Monday ordered the immediate inspection of 895 Boeing 787 family aircraft to verify the functioning of pilot and co-pilot seats following an incident involving a LATAM Airlines aircraft in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) noted in a statement the issuance of \u201can Airworthiness Directive effective immediately\u201d for certain Boeing 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order states that airlines operating these aircraft must inspect the captain’s and co-pilot’s seats for missing, or broken, switch covers within the next 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA indicated that 158 of the aircraft affected by the directive are registered in the United States and 737 in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, a LATAM Airlines 787-9 suddenly plummeted while flying from Australia to New Zealand, injuring 50 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After investigating, FAA determined that the incident occurred because a crew member inadvertently touched a switch located on the pilot’s seat that did not have a cover to prevent accidental activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The switch disconnected the aircraft’s autopilot and ultimately caused the aircraft to crash. FAA has received reports of similar incidents on other Boeing 787 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA also said Boeing had informed it the company discovered a damaged component following a 777-9 flight test last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing added “no near-term flight tests were planned on the other flight test airplanes” and said the part is custom to the 777-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing in July began certification flight testing of its long-delayed 777-9 with FAA regulators onboard after receiving Type Inspection Authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
