Regulatory Action Targets Air Conditioning Malfunctions Onboard
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an airworthiness directive for Boeing 737 Max jets due to electrical faults causing air-conditioning malfunctions and unsafe temperatures onboard. The directive, which applies to 2,119 aircraft worldwide, requires operators to revise their airplane flight manuals within 30 days to include procedures for responding to the fault. Boeing supports the directive and is working on a permanent fix, which it expects to implement before certification of the 737 Max 7 and Max 10. The action was reported by AeroTime.
