WASHINGTON: Boeing Co and the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed on Sunday they are reviewing a wiring issue that could potentially cause a short circuit on the grounded 737 MAX.
The FAA said in a statement Sunday the agency and company"are analyzing certain findings from a recent review of the proposed modifications to the Boeing 737 MAX." The agency added it will"ensure that all safety related issues identified during this process are addressed." Officials said the FAA had directed Boeing to complete an audit in December. The wiring issue could push back the return of the MAX, the officials added. Reuters has reported previously the FAA is not likely to approve the plane until at least February and might not until March or later.The FAA flagged the wiring issue as potentially"catastrophic." It is possible other protections like shielding, insulation and circuit breakers could prevent the short circuit, a company official said.
