FAA Issues Airworthiness Directive for 222 Boeing 787

MIAMI – On February 19, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a directive concerning the inspection of 222 Boeing 787 aircraft. The inspection is based on the decompression of the jets in the bilge barriers.

The control operation must be completed 45 days after the publication of the Airworthiness Directive (AD). The directive comes as Boeing faces numerous manufacturing defects on its 787 Dreamliners, which have caused extensive inspections and more than 80 undelivered aircraft.
