Is this something we could get our hands on? I'm super curious as to what the instructions contain, is it a mere "tighten the screws" or something a lot more severe?

- maxbond 3y agoWorking under the assumption Boeing had sent a copy to the FAA (maybe also NTSB?) and that it would be FOIA-able, I started filling out a FOIA request through MuckRock, but they've changed their model and are charging a small fee ($20 per 4 requests). Which does sound like a fair price, but ultimately I decided not to do it. So, if you or anyone else want to pick up the torch, here's how I was planning to scope the request: Any and all instructions for the inspection and/or maintenance of Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft received by the FAA between January 6th, 2024 and January 13th, 2024. The necessary legal incantations are contained in the template MuckRock provides. But in all honesty I bet the easiest way to get a copy is to check in with the aerospace media/blogosphere every few days until someone publishes a copy.
