New problem: Loose screw on Boeing 737-Max

Quality defects appear to have occurred again in the Boeing 737-Max aircraft. This time we are talking about potential problems caused by a loose screw in the area of ​​the critical component of the rudder control system.

The aircraft manufacturer Boeing has issued a so-called multi-operator message in cooperation with the FAA. All operators are instructed to perform inspections on specific tie rods responsible for controlling rudder movements. The focus is on checking the hardware for signs of looseness or irregularities.

Depending on the results of these inspections, the FAA is prepared to take further action. Any discovery of loose or missing hardware may result in additional measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the Boeing 737 Max fleet.
