Information on the late Dec FAA AD on rudder bolts on 737 Maxes
Might not be the right subforum, and sorry for the uninformed question, but I wanted info on how "diligent" are the airlines to ADs.
For example, in late Dec the FAA issued an AD around some nuts missing in the rudder of the maxes, and that inspections should be done within 2 weeks (Jan 10th).
I often fly with Ryanair, which is governed by EASA. Can I be sure that issue has been checked? We are close to the 2 weeks mark, however I do not seem to find a similar AD from the EASA. And on top of that, I understand these checks are not mandatory, so do airlines usually stick to the timelines outlined by the agencies?
