FAA warns of safety hazard from leaky faucets in Boeing 787, calls for inspections
FILE - A Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner test plane is presented on the Tarmac of Le Bourget on June 18, 2017, on the eve of the opening of the International Paris Air Show. (Photo credit: ERIC PIERMONT/AFP via Getty Images) The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is calling for inspections of all Boeing 787 jets amid recurring problems with leaky bathroom faucets that regulators worry could harm the massive airliner’s electronic systems.The FAA on Friday issued a proposal for repetitive inspections of Boeing 787 jetliners, which the company calls the Dreamliner, in the wake of "multiple" cases of water leaking from lavatories under the cabin floor and into bays where electronic equipment is stored.In calling for the inspections, the FAA said the leaks threatened to damage critical electronic equipment that could potentially lead to a "loss of continued safe flight and landing."BOEING PLANS TO INCREASE 737 MAX PRODUCTION RATES ‘VERY SOON’The agency indicated that after one unidentified airline discovered wet carpet in the plane’s cockpit and inspected the rest of its 787 fleet it found "multiple" planes with leaking faucets.Boeing notified airlines about the issue in November, which it traced back to a problem with an O-ring seal that led to a slow leak of about 8 ounces of water per hour.The aircraft manufacturer said it believes the issue is limited to certain 787s, although the FAA’s proposed order would apply to all 787 jetliners in U.S.
