yampy Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Components in the leading edge slat assembly not meeting manufacturing standards apparently. The FAA are to issue a Airworthyness Directive (AD) , directing all operators of the 737 Max and 737NG to conduct inspection and repair if necessary within 10 days . This will affect almost every operator of the 737 in Australia . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Doesn't an Australian company build LE slats for Boeing? Not sure if they build the tracks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
