The National Transportation Safety Board or NTSB announced that Federal Aviation Administration or FAA should inspect all GEnx-1B and -2B engines that have not undergone inspection and required repetitive inspections of the fan midshaft at a sufficiently short interval.
NTSB recommended to regulators late Friday that certain General Electric Co's. (GE) jet engines on two types of Boeing Co. (BA) aircraft should be inspected immediately.
NTSB issued these two urgent safety recommendations to FAA regarding two recent occurrences in which the fan midshaft on General Electric GEnx-1B engines fractured or exhibited crack indications; in two different Boeing 787s and where similar cracks were recently found in GEnx-2B engines in a Boeing 747-8F cargo plane.
