FAA to convene board to review 737 MAX engine issue after bird strike incidents
Nov 21, 2024 6:19 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration plans to convene a corrective action review board in the coming weeks to consider safety concerns about engines on Boeing 737 MAX airplanes after two bird strike incidents on Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) planes in 2023.

The FAA said it is addressing an issue with the CFM LEAP-1B engine and is collaborating with Boeing ( BA ), CFM and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

The Seattle Times, which reported the plan earlier, said the FAA could issue instructions to pilots for changes during procedures during takeoff until Boeing ( BA ) develops a permanent fix that could extend delays to certification of the MAX 7 and MAX 10 models.
