As detailed in the FAA report (Docket No. FAA-2025-3426; Project Identifier AD-2025-00342-T), the directive would relate to 165 Boeing Dreamliners, and the estimated time to undertake the works would be approximately two hours per aircraft, at a cost of around $85 per hour, plus parts. Honeywell International Inc., the manufacturer of the MCP, has already indicated that some or all of the replacement parts may be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
