"FAA Mandates Extra Inspections for Boeing 737 MAX Fleet"
The FAA issued an airworthiness directive requiring extra inspections for some Boeing 737 Max jets after loose bolts were found in the rudder control system of an international operator's plane. The order affects 1,299 planes, with 482 registered in the U.S., and is based on Boeing's recommendation. This issue is separate from the missing bolts that caused a door plug to rip off an Alaska Airlines plane in January. The FAA and NTSB are investigating, while experts maintain the 737 Max's safety.
