The authorisation means that Boeing can now begin a flight testing program with the participation of Federal Aviation Administration pilots. https://lnkd.in/eMY6zhDi #Aviation #Aircraft #737max

Did You Hear the Latest on Boeing 737 MAX? 🛩️ In a recent development that's turning heads in the aviation world, Boeing's 737 MAX model is facing yet another challenge. Over 1,300 of these aircraft are being recalled due to an issue identified in the rudder control system. What seemed like a minor defect is now causing major ripples. 🔧 The issue was initially discovered during routine maintenance, revealing a missing nut on a rudder control system bolt and another insufficiently tightened component. This has prompted swift action from Boeing and the FAA. United and Alaska Airlines have also reported finding loose parts while inspecting their Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft. In light of these developments, Boeing is urging airlines with this model to conduct comprehensive checks on these crucial rudder system components. While the identified aircraft have been repaired, the implications are significant for the entire fleet. 🛫 The 737 MAX has been under scrutiny after facing numerous engineering and safety hurdles, leading to a grounding period and substantial financial losses. These incidents are reshaping how we approach aviation safety and quality assurance. If you operate these models, it's crucial to stay ahead of these developments. At ICARUS, we're equipped to assist you in ensuring your fleet's safety and compliance. Don't hesitate to reach out to see how we can help. #Boeing737MAX #AviationSafety

https://lnkd.in/gTvjpSY3 While flying remains one of the safest modes of transportation, the recent challenges faced by the Boeing #737max series have raised crucial questions. The series has historically been a symbol of #reliability, but the issues on the MAX model are undeniably daunting. The question on everyone's mind: Will the FAA make the difficult decision to scrap the MAX project? The implications are significant, not just for Boeing but for the #aviation industry as a whole. It's a decision that could reshape the landscape and potentially mark the end of an era. #Boeing #Aviation #SafetyFirst #FAA #737MAX #IndustryInsights #flying #pilot Cristiano Canotti thomas christensen Airbus #safety #airlineindustry

AAIB Finds Boeing 737-800 Autothrottle Failure Led To TUI Overflying End Of Runway At 10ft The investigators noted that the manually set thrust – 84.5% N1 – was below the required takeoff thrust – 92.8% N1 – and was not noticed by the pilots and not picked up through the standard operating procedures (SOP). According to SKYbrary, N1 is the rotational speed of the low-pressure (low-speed) engine spool. However, the AAIB also pointed out that the autothrottle disengaged when pilots selected takeoff mode at the beginning of the roll.

Prioritizing safety in aviation: Boeing's proactive move Boeing's recent call for safety checks on all 737 MAX aircraft reflects the aerospace giant's commitment to proactive measures. The FAA highlighted a potential loose bolt in the rudder control system, prompting Boeing's recommendation after a missing nut was discovered during routine maintenance. This precautionary multi-operator message emphasizes collaboration with the FAA and urges airlines to inspect tie rods controlling rudder movement. The industry is again reminded of the importance of safety management systems to identify and address any previous issues related to "loose hardware." While the 737 MAX has faced challenges, Boeing assures that the identified issue has been resolved, underlining the recommendation for inspections as an abundance of caution. This incident yet again underscores the continuous focus on safety in the aviation sector. #AviationSafety #Boeing737MAX #ProactiveSafety #FAA #AerospaceInsights ✈️🔍

Technology has a habit of being far off in the distance...then right in your face. To the pilots in America, this will happen sooner than we think. It'll happen overseas first, then an airline CFO will crunch the numbers, then someone will lobby Congress, then before you know it, an airline will announce they are reducing crew numbers for certain flight legs. Call it the innovator's dilemma, necessity being the mother of invention, or simply the natural progress of technology. My hunch is that someone like American Airlines will be the first to do this...They have Airbus airframes and aren't as profitable as current industry leaders like Delta...they have an incentive to innovate while smartly managing risk. And to my friends who say you can't automate a 737 FO away...companies like Merlin and Reliable Robotics Corporation are making strides to do so for airframes like the KC-135 and C-130. So, I don't think the 737 is that much of a stretch; the only question is how long does the modification take to pay off (and how long until the FAA will certify Boeing to do something new safely with the 737)? I just wonder what the unions will do for senior line number FOs who suddenly won't be flying as much. https://lnkd.in/gkH3NRBf
