The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an airworthiness directive today grounding thousands of Boeing 737 airplanes for mandatory inspections. This directive stems from concerns regarding potential malfunctions of passenger oxygen masks in emergency situations.
Reason for Inspections
The FAA cited reports of passenger service unit oxygen generators being dislodged from their designated positions. This malfunction could hinder the delivery of supplemental oxygen to passengers during a decompression event.
Affected Aircraft and Timeline
The directive applies to a wide range of Boeing 737 models, including both the 737 MAX and Next Generation (NG) variants. Around 2,600 Boeing 737s registered in the United States require inspection within the next 120 to 150 days, depending on the specific model.
Corrective Actions
The FAA directive mandates a thorough visual inspection of the oxygen generators. If any issues are identified, airlines must take corrective actions, which may involve replacing faulty units.
Passenger Reassurance and Boeing's Response
While the inspections are a precautionary measure, the FAA emphasizes the continued airworthiness of the Boeing 737 fleet following these checks. Boeing is expected to cooperate with airlines throughout the inspection process.
