Boeing asked the Federal Aviation Administration to exempt the latest variant of its killer 737 Max plane from safety inspections despite the risk of engine malfunction.FAA officials said that Boeing was working to fix the hazard which could cause the engine housing from overheating and breaking off during flight, the Associated Press reported. In the meantime, federal officials told pilots flying the 737 Max 7, which is not yet used by airlines, to limit use of an anti-icing system in some conditions to avoid damage that 'could result in loss of control of the airplane.' The 737 Max 7 is the smallest jet in the Max family and will seat up to 138 people.
