Globe/AP say Boeing has loose nuts

2024-01-02 07:09 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Boeing is asking airlines to inspect its 737 MAX jets for a potential loose bolt in the rudder control system, the airplane maker and Federal Aviation Administration confirmed this week. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe quotes the FAA saying it would be "closely monitoring" the targeted inspections. Boeing issued its inspection guidance to airlines after an international operator found a bolt with a missing nut during routine maintenance. In a separate case, Boeing also discovered an undelivered aircraft that had a nut that was not properly tightened. "The issue identified on the particular airplane has been remedied," the company said Friday. "Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending operators inspect their 737 MAX airplanes and inform us of any findings." Boeing added that it will continue to update customers and federal regulators on the progress. The FAA said it will remain in contact with Boeing and impacted airlines as the inspections are performed, and potentially "consider additional action based on any further discovery of loose or missing hardware." According to Boeing, there have been no in-flight incidents caused by this condition.
