Dave Duff of the Faass regulation and certification division declined to go into detail. But he said a i can assure you we will be taking some action the first of the  in Seattle Boeing spokesman Steven Smith said the action would affect 165 planes flown by Northwest United Delta american trans air and United parcel service plus 14 operated by the foreign airlines Royal air maroc Condor ethiopian Shanghai and lad co of Chile. The Boeing 757 order covers Only those with Pratt amp Whitney engines which have Hydraulic directional control valves.

Broderick associate Faa administrator in an interview published in sunday editions of the Washington Post. The action on the Boeing 767s taken earlier was in response to the crash of a Lauda airlines flight in Thailand on May 26 that killed All 223 aboard. The Faa has said that an investigation of that Accident has not shown definitively that the thrust reverser was at fault but showed a a number of possible discrepancies in the thrust reverser control  flight Crews typically reverse engines on Landing to assist an aircraft a brakes but the Faa said planes Are designed to Stop safely without having to use the reverse thruster. The concern is that the thrusters could cause some types of air planes a particularly Large ones with Only one engine mounted on each Wing a to become uncontrollable if the thruster is somehow accidentally activated in flight. A one thing we want to emphasize is that we be had no evidence of inadvertent thrust reverser deployment on 757s,�?� Smith added. The Faa action on the 767s required deactivation of the thrusters so they could not be used a whether on purpose or accidentally a pending engineering changes that would prevent accidental deployment.
