US aviation regulator FAA has issued

a warning over the safety of landing gears of“several hundreds” of Boeing planes worldwide. In its warning issued last week, the FAAclaimed that some components of the landing gears had been coated with a type of enamelpaint that makes it more difficult to detect corrosion and is not authorised by currentmaintenance rules. AAR Corp., a Miami-based aircraft maintenance company who suppliedthe parts in more than 300 cases, mainly for Boeing 747 and 767 planes, denied theinformation and urged the FAA to produce explanations.
