FAA Ready To Issue NPRM on 737 Max
U.S. authorities expect to propose rulemaking for an AD specifying new 737 Max design changes and crew procedures “in the near future.”

The Federal Aviation Administration plans to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for an airworthiness directive (AD) affecting the 737 Max “in the near future,” the agency said in a statement issued Tuesday. The NPRM will provide 45 days for public comment on proposed design changes and crew procedures devised to satisfy safety concerns identified during the investigations following the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines accidents, noted the FAA.
