Inspection on Boeing 737s<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AFP): The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
\n(FAA) is about to order the inspection of 185 Boeing 737s in the
\nwake of last month's 737 crash in Indonesia, ABC television said
\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
ABC said investigators probing that accident believe that
\nattachments were missing on the horizontal stabilizers located at
\nthe rear of the aircraft.<\/p>\n
The FAA, which oversees U.S. civil aviation, reportedly fears
\nthat a lack of attachments might cause a catastrophic loss of
\ncontrol.<\/p>\n
The agency will order the inspection of all 737s built in the
\nlast two years, ABC said.<\/p>\n
As soon as the airlines are notified by the FAA, they must
\nconduct the inspection within 24 hours or five flights, said ABC,
\nwhich did not specify when the FAA would give word.<\/p>\n
The SilkAir Boeing 737-300 crashed into the Musi River near
\nPalembang Dec. 19. All 104 people on board were killed.<\/p>",
