The Federal Aviation Administration will convene a review board to address safety concerns involving CFM LEAP-1B engines on Boeing 737 MAX planes after two 2023 bird strike incidents on Southwest Airlines (LUV) flights caused cockpit smoke, Reuters reported on Friday.
The report said the FAA is collaborating with Boeing (BA), CFM, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
It added that temporary procedural changes during takeoff may be issued until Boeing develops a permanent fix, which could delay the certification of the MAX 7 and MAX 10 models.
Southwest said it is working with manufacturers and regulators to identify solutions while reiterating safety procedures to flight crews, according to Reuters.
CFM is the world's largest engine maker by units sold and is co-owned by GE Aerospace (GE) and Safran. GE Aerospace told Reuters that the LEAP engines meet certification standards and performed as designed, though the birds exceeded size and weight standards.
Boeing, CFM, and Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
