According to Reuters, the FAA stated it is proposing to fine United Airlines $1.1 million for allegedly conducting Boeing 777-200 flights without making required preflight fire system warning checks.

United is believed to have flown more than 102,000 flights of its Boeing 777 aircraft between June 2018 and April 2021 that did not meet U.S. airworthiness requirements.

United allegedly “removed the fire system warning check from its Boeing 777 preflight check list. The inspection is required in the maintenance specifications manual. Removal of the check resulted in United’s failure to perform the required check.”
