Eirtech Aviation Services, a leading provider of aviation solutions, has introduced a groundbreaking cost-saving alternative means of compliance (AMOC) solution for satisfying FAA Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-26 on Boeing 737-600, -700, -700c, -800, -900, and -900ER Series Aircraft (without Boeing Sky Interior (BSI)). This innovative solution aims to provide airlines with a more cost-effective approach to comply with the FAA AD and ensure the safety and integrity of their aircraft.
The FAA AD 2019-03-26, which came into effect on April 8, 2019, with a compliance deadline set for March 26, 2024, was issued following a report indicating instances of passenger service units (PSUs) becoming separated from the supporting airplane structure during certain survivable accident sequences. To address this concern, the AD mandates the installation of lanyard assembly kits on the PSU and, for specific aircraft, on the life vest panel, where applicable.
