๐ Summary
The FAA has proposed mandatory inspections for 453 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft seats. Improperly installed seat assemblies could disengage during turbulence or emergency landings. This condition might injure passengers and crew or block the evacuation aisle. Boeing supports the FAA's decision to make these recommendations mandatory. The directive applies to US-registered aircraft, with no deadline specified yet.
