FAA Finalizes Engine Cover Fix for Certain Boeing 777 Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued final safety
directives aimed at preventing engine covers from breaking apart on
Boeing 777 jets with Pratt & Whitney engines.
The final directives pave the way for the jets to return to
service, over a year after a broken fan blade on the engine of a
United Airlines' 777 caused an engine cover to detach, raining
metal debris onto a Denver suburb.
The directives, which were proposed in December, require
strengthened engine covers and enhanced engine fan-blade
inspections.
United had hoped to start restoring the planes to service this
month.
