FAA met to discuss frequent engine inspections days before Denver incident
Only days before a dramatic engine failure on a United Airlines flight, federal regulators had met about requiring more frequent inspections of the same type of engine, CNN reported citing the source.
On Saturday (local time), United Airlines Flight 328 made an emergency landing in Denver when its right Pratt and Whitney PW4000 series engine failed with a loud bang only minutes after takeoff.
“Last week we were already in the process of undertaking activity and analysis to reduce the inspection interval,” CNN quoted Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Steve Dickson as saying.
