The FAA has ordered that "urgent", mandatory repairs be made on all Boeing 787 jets equipped with GE GEnx-1B PIP2 engines, requiring them to retrofit the anti-icing system on 176 Dreamliners. The FAA edict affects 44-percent of the Dreamliner fleet. The FAA order cites a risk of ice accumulation on the fan blades, which resulted in an in-flight shut-down and emergency landing of a Japan Air Lines (JAL) 787 in January. In the JAL incident, one of the airplane's two engines shut-down due to ice accumulation and could not be restarted. The pilots made a successful emergency landing on one engine.
