New Directive Targets Incorrectly Installed Bearings
The US Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 aircraft, targeting incorrectly installed bearings in the elevator buss assembly. The proposal, which affects 95 US-registered aircraft, aims to prevent potential cracking and premature failure of the elevator buss assembly crank arms. The FAA will review public comments before deciding whether to issue a final directive, as reported by Aviation A2Z.
