Civil Aviation Resources Network, June 21, 2024: According to CNN, the US media recently exposed the potential safety hazards of Boeing 737MAX passenger aircraft, that is, after the aircraft engine is hit by a bird, it may cause smoke in the cabin or cockpit. Boeing has issued a warning to Southwest Airlines and American Airlines about this engine hazard in February this year, and the two airlines subsequently conveyed relevant information to their pilots.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that it "will continue to cooperate with Boeing to investigate these incidents and will decide whether further action is needed based on the results of the investigation."
The message conveyed by American Airlines to pilots stated: "Boeing has received two reports of engine failures due to large bird strikes during takeoff and early climb." Southwest Airlines said that such bird strikes may cause "smoke and fumes to enter the cabin immediately through the air conditioning system."
On March 5, 2023, local time, a 737MAX 8 passenger plane of Southwest Airlines flew from Cuba to the United States. During takeoff, the right engine was severely damaged by a bird strike, causing the cabin to be filled with thick smoke. On December 20, 2023, local time, a Southwest Airlines passenger plane made an emergency return after being hit by a bird, causing damage to the left engine and smoke filling the cockpit. No one was injured. According to reports, the aircraft involved was a Boeing 737MAX 8 (registration number N8830Q) of Southwest Airlines, which was scheduled to fly WN554 from New Orleans (MSY) to Tampa (TPA).
