From Times Staff and Wire Reports
United Airlines said it was retesting instruments on seven Boeing Co. 747 jets after learning that equipment used for inspections was overdue to be calibrated.
United “found no issues” so far in the testing and disclosed the checks to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Chicago-based carrier said. The agency didn’t order the retests, and the problem was found by the airline in a routine maintenance check, an FAA spokeswoman said.
No flights were canceled, a United spokeswoman said.
