FAA Calls for Engine Tests on Small Jets
From Times Wire Reports
Some smaller jets could be forced to stay on the ground unless they pass urgent engine tests ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA said its action was prompted by three reports of in-flight engine shutdowns owing to loss of engine oil. The emergency order covers Embraer 145 commuter jets and Cessna 750 series corporate jets powered by Allison 3007A and 30007C engines, or about 120 U.S.-registered planes.
