FAA issues directive to address Boeing 737 circuit breaker issue

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it has issued an airworthiness directive for all Boeing BA.N 737 MAX 8, and 8200 airplanes to address a circuit breaker issue that could lead to a malfunction causing excessively high temperatures in the cabin and flight-deck.

The directive requires revising the airplane flight manual within 30 days to provide flight crew with operating procedures if a certain circuit breaker trips causing an air conditioning malfunction. The FAA said the directive covers 2,119 airplanes worldwide, including 771 U.S.-registered airplanes.
