The FAA is proposing safety inspections for certain General Electric GEnx engines, which power Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Boeing 747-8 aircraft. The directive addresses a potential issue that could affect engine safety and requires specific inspection procedures. This affects airlines operating Boeing 787 and 747-8 aircraft, engine maintenance shops, and GE engine lessors. Engine inspections can be costly and may temporarily reduce available aircraft, but they're critical for passenger safety.
