Missing MH370: FAA proposed new directive for Boeing 777s six months ago

PETALING JAYA: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Boeing 777s last September which would prevent “loss of structural integrity of the airplane”.

However the AD applied to other B777 models not the B777-200ER which is the model of the missing MH370.
