Boeing has an assembly issue with 787 Dreamliners and the FAA is forcing the company to address it. It marks yet another woe for the embattled aerospace giant.
Another one of Boeing's popular planes, the 787 Dreamliner, is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration after one aircraft rapidly descended when the captain's seat spontaneously moved forward and impacted the controls.
As part of its AD, the FAA told FOX Business that it is requiring operators to inspect the captain’s and first officer’s seats on 787-7, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes for missing or cracked rocker switch caps and for cracked or nonfunctional switch cover assemblies within 30 days. Operators must also perform any necessary corrective actions, the FAA said.
