A technical review by the FAA decided the risk from an engine vulnerability does not warrant immediate action, contrary to an internal report last month.

The FAA Corrective Action Review Board, after reviewing the CFM LEAP-1B engine bird strikes, which eventually led to smoke entering the aircrafts, said that the issue does not warrant an immediate action. The agency will therefore follow standard regulatory processes to address them, Reuters reported.

The FAA Corrective Action Review Board reviewed the CFM LEAP-1B engine bird strikes which led to smoke entering two Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The board determined the issue does not warrant immediate action and the FAA will follow its standard regulatory process to address it, the agency said.

An internal memo recommends a design change to fix an engine risk on the 737 MAX, in addition to informing pilots of the risk and changing takeoff procedures.

The FAA evaluated bird strike concerns on Boeing 737 MAX engines, opting not to require immediate action. The review board found no urgent issue, though further assessments and procedure amendments are being considered.
