US FAA adopts safety directive for Boeing 787 planes following mid-air dive

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday it was adopting an airworthiness directive for Boeing (NYSE:BA ) 787 Dreamliners following an incident in March when a LATAM Airlines (NYSE:LTM ) plane went into a sudden mid-air dive that injured more than 50 passengers.

The FAA said the apparent reason for the dive was the uncommanded movement of the captain's seat, which caused the auto-pilot to disconnect.
