The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified a problem with the radio communications systems of the Boeing 787. The system, supplied by Collins Aerospace, causes very high frequency radio channels to switch between active and standby settings on the plane's tuning control panel. This issue presents the risk of flight crews missing important communications while in operation.

The agency has proposed a directive regarding this issue. The proposed directive strives to ensure that the communication systems are reliable and safe for operations. The aim is to prevent any situations where communication could be compromised due to the radio system fault.

Collins Aerospace, the supplier of the radio communications systems, has acknowledged the problem and is working closely with the FAA to address it. Boeing has stated their commitment to resolving the issue to guarantee passenger and crew safety.
