The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a recommendation for airlines to conduct visual inspections on their Boeing 737-900ER aircraft to ensure proper security of door plugs. This guidance comes in the wake of a recent incident where a door plug blew out of a similar Boeing model during a flight. Major carriers, such as Alaska, Delta, and United, have already taken proactive measures and initiated inspections.
The FAA's call for inspections serves as a precautionary measure to prevent any potential safety risks that may arise from improperly secured door plugs. The door plugs play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the aircraft's cabin and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew members.
