+ honcho Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Wait Max, there's more! The engine of a Boeing 747 exploded in midair Saturday over the Netherlands, dropping metal debris that injured two people, according to Dutch authorities. The ABC national news (US, not Oz) reported that both that engine and the one from the 777 were of the same kind made my Pratt & Whitney (and also that kind of engine is not being put on current 777s).

Guest Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Rossiya Airlines Boeing 777 cargo plane made an emergency landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on Friday due to a problem with an engine control sensor, the airline said. The plane was a 15-year-old 777-300ER, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, which means it has General Electric engines. Those are different from the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines under scrutiny after an engine fire aboard a United Airlines 777 on Saturday which prompted the suspension of operations involving planes using those engines.

Guest Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Max, there you are again. NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — It’s a little like déjà vu, on Friday Boeing recommended that more than one-dozen of its customers take some of their planes out of service because of a potential electrical issue. In all, U.S. airlines temporarily suspended the use of more than 65 Boeing 737 MAX jets, with 16 carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 New York (AFP) - The potential electrical problem that prompted airlines to remove some 737 MAX planes from service has been found in more areas of the plane than initially known, a report said Friday. Boeing said on April 9 that the issue, discovered during the manufacturing process, requires "verification that a sufficient ground path exists for a component of the electrical power system." But The Wall Street Journal, citing Boeing, reported Friday that the manufacturing issue affects "more areas of the flight deck than previously known."

Having just announced another delay yesterday after saying it was going to make a maiden flight by the end of this month. The Paris Air Show crowd must have known that Boeing Execs were bullshitting them... 12 years later, the story never changes... The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that Boeing (BA.N) had temporarily halted deliveries of 787 Dreamliners as the agency waits for more data to determine if the planemaker's planned inspection method meets federal requirements. "Boeing still needs to show that its proposed inspection method would meet FAA’s federal safety regulations. The FAA is waiting for additional data from Boeing before determining whether the company’s solution meets safety regulations," the FAA said in a statement. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-halts-deliveries-787-dreamliners-wsj-2021-05-28/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be too simplistic to suggest, 'Because they know what they are doing'? MscleLovr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED: Looks like Delta doesn't. Most of them were flying them before they were shutdown. Now I don’t know whether they have all been brought back into service. There hasn’t been a lot of need for them up to now in Canada since the pandemic. For example Air Canada is flying at very low levels because of the shutdown on travel. Demand is only increasing in the US because restrictions there are loosening faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on one flight, LAX to Washington National, so not a short hop, and I had read the info card. But that was before the aircraft had become famous. Here, I don't have to think about it, Qantas doesn't fly them, and although Virgin had them on order that was cancelled when they went into administration.

+ glutes Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) A maintenance error may have caused a British Airways 787-8 Dreamliner jet to collapse on its nose at London’s Heathrow Airport Friday morning June 18. The plane was being readied for a cargo flight to Frankfurt, Germany. According to reports, the front landing gear, beneath the pilot’s cabin, gave way not while the plane was taxiing on the runway or being pushed back, but while it was parked on the tarmac at stand 583. There were no passengers on board, but according to the Daily Mail, medics treated several people on the scene for injuries. https://thepointsguy.com/news/british-airways-787-dreamliner-collapses-nose-gear-gives-way/ Edited June 20, 2021 by glutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ glutes Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Glutes is shocked! New York (CNN Business)Even when Boeing has its best month in years, it has problems. Boeing (BA) on Tuesday disclosed a new issue with the 787 Dreamliner widebody jet, which has been dogged with problems since August. The company said some of the planes' fuselage was not joined together to meet precise standards and there are questions about the verification process to make sure they meet the standards. The locations where parts of the plane are joined must meet precise standards down to a small fraction of an inch. There are questions about the inspection process used to check that work. The company said it has been working with the FAA on the problem and identified a way to fix the 787s that haven't yet been delivered to customers. Boeing said 787 planes already in service do not need to be grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
