On Aug. 3, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sent a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for a Boeing 737 Max airworthiness directive (AD) to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The NPRM proposes mandating a number of design changes to address an identified unsafe condition. When the NPRM publishes in the Federal Register, a 45 day public comment period will begin. The FAA is posting the NPRM on its website to enable the public to begin review early.
The FAA will also be placing the Preliminary Summary of the FAA’s Review of the Boeing 737 Max in the docket to assist with the review of the proposed AD.
