– Classmate:

So
the agency I chose was the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and
the Department of Transportation. (DOT). We are going to be talking
about Airworthiness Directive 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA-2018-0299;
Product Identifier 2018-NM-060-AD; Amendment 39-19256; AD 2018-08-03]
RIN 2120-AA64 in regards to the Airworthiness Directives, on the Boeing
Company Airplanes. And that they are adopting a new airworthiness
directive (AD) for The Boeing company model airplanes powered by
Rolls-Royce engines. Now, this means that the AD is requiring that the
flight manual is updated to reflect a limit extended operating time on
select engines. This went in to effect on April 17, 2018.

So,
in short, the FAA and DOT are required Boeing to limit or -cutback the
hours of use on the engines on certain plains for safety concerns. As to
where the engine could have a significant failure causing serious,
injury and or death to people riding the plain. I do happen to agree
with the FAA the plain we ride in today is out dated. I feel that
airlines don’t care and they run their fleet of plains into the ground
all in the name of making money while the whole time claiming to be
safe. I know more people die in car accidents each year rather than
plane crashes. But my safety is a concern I feel the Airlines need to
take into perspective. So yes the FAA can’t be hard enough on the
Airlines or the manufactures of the engines that power these plains.
