LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Federal Aviation Administration is grounding more planes following the deadly UPS crash in Louisville.
In addition to the MD-11 that was grounded Nov. 8, an Emergency Airworthiness Directive was issued on Nov. 14 for various models of the MD-10 aircraft as well as DC-10 planes.
According to the directive, The FAA said these aircraft have similar unsafe conditions, like "loss of continued safe flight and landing," to the MD-11 and will need to be inspected.
MD-11's were grounded back on Nov. 8 because it was the type of plane involved in the deadly UPS crash in Louisville where the left-hand engine and pylon detached from the airplane during takeoff. Fourteen people, including three pilots on board, were killed in that crash.
