Alert for 747 Boeings
NZPA Washington The United States National Transportation Safety Board has urged an immediate inspection of engine mounts on some Boeing 747 aircraft as the result of damage to one of the jumbo jets during a rough landing in London. The board recommended that the Federal Aviation I Administration order a oneI time inspection of 747 aircraft equipped with Pratt and Whitney JT 9D engines. [ A Pan American Boeing 747 cargo jet from New York touched down firmly at London’s Heathrow Airport on Friday while landing in gusty crosswinds. Shortly afterwards, the board said in its recom-j mendation, the right-hand outboard engine partially separated from the engine mount on the wing, leaving the engine attached at the rear, and caught fire.
