Irvine, California, Burrana announced today, FAA Parts Manufacturing Approval for Passenger Service Unit Lanyard kits.
Burrana is pleased to announce that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) for its Passenger Service Unit (PSU) Monitor Secondary Lanyard Kits, designed specifically for Boeing 737 aircraft. This approval supports compliance with key Boeing and FAA safety directives.
The newly approved PMA kits fully comply with Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin (RB) 737-25-1851 and proactively position operators for the upcoming FAA Airworthiness Directive (AD), currently published as NPRM Docket No. FAA-2025-0004 (Project Identifier AD-2024-00094-T). The kits also align with existing mandates under FAA AD 2021-26-17, which address secondary lanyards for PSUs and life vest panels across the 737 Next Generation fleet. Boeing RB 737-25-1851, issued December 15, 2023, is classified as an “Enhanced Required-for-Compliance” document. It outlines retrofit requirements regulators intend to mandate in the forthcoming FAA AD, targeting B737-600, B737-700, B737-800, B737-900, and B737-900ER aircraft equipped with PSU-mounted video monitors. The installation of a secondary retention lanyard eliminates the risk of monitor detachment during hard landings, a hazard that could result in passenger injury or impede cabin evacuation.
Andy Fellows, Vice President Airline Programs and Airline Services, comments, “This FAA PMA approval not only supports regulatory compliance ahead of the forthcoming Airworthiness Directive but also reinforces our commitment to providing operators with practical, timely solutions that simplify implementation and minimize disruption.”
Kits are available now with standard lead times of six months. Burrana urges operators with affected fleets to place orders promptly to ensure timely embodiment and compliance.
