Response to the airworthiness directive

摘要

Following the mid-air engine failure on a Southwest Boeing 737 shortly after taking off from New York's La Guardia Airport (resulting in the death of a female passenger), airlines operating CFM56-7B engines have been responding to the emergency air-worthiness directive (EAD) from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), based on a CFM International service bulletin that calls for inspections of fan blades on long-service engines.
