WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) on Wednesday issued directives requiring
inspections and strengthening a key engine part on Boeing
777-200 planes equipped with Pratt & Whitney (PW) engines.
The directives were prompted after a United Airlines UAL.O
777 PW4000 engine failed shortly after takeoff from Denver on
Feb. 20, showering debris over nearby cities, but no one was
injured and the plane safely returned to the airport.
