WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it will open a three-month review of Boeing\u2019s compliance with safety regulations, continuing the agency\u2019s closer oversight<\/a> of the company since a panel blew off<\/a> a jetliner during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA<\/a> said its review will examine key areas of safety processes at Boeing<\/a> to make sure that they \u201cresult in timely, accurate safety-related information for FAA use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An FAA spokesperson said the review was not triggered by any particular event or concern but rather is part of the FAA\u2019s oversight of safety culture<\/a> at the huge aircraft maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing did not comment immediately on the new review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker<\/a> has ordered special audits of Boeing and other steps to examine the safety culture at Boeing since a panel called a door plug blew off a 737 Max during the Alaska Airlines flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the inspector general of the Transportation Department, FAA\u2019s parent agency, said last week that weaknesses in FAA oversight<\/a> are limiting its ability to find and fix problems at Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The auditor said FAA has failed to ensure that Boeing and its suppliers make parts that meet engineering and design requirements and to investigate claims that Boeing puts improper pressure<\/a> on employees who are authorized to conduct safety inspections. The FAA has closed only 14 of 34 reports of undue pressure, with the others remaining open for more than a year on average, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the National Transportation Safety Board issued an \u201curgent\u201d recommendation to FAA<\/a> about a problem that surfaced in February with rudders that pilots use to steer certain Boeing 737s after landing. Two weeks later, the FAA later issued a safety alert to airlines about the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
