Old business jets must update their flight manuals to prevent in-flight thrust reversal

The US aviation regulator is requiring all Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. Model 1124 and 1124A airplanes to update their flight manuals. This change aims to prevent the plane's thrust reversers from activating accidentally during flight or before landing.

This is a small, specific safety update for an older model of business jet. It means operators of these planes must now formally change their procedures and training. The goal is to prevent a rare but dangerous malfunction that could cause a plane to lose control.
