FAA Orders 222 Boeing 787’s Re-called For Inspection

(Reuters) – February 17, 2021
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-787-faa/faa-issues-airworthiness-directive-for-222-boeing-787-planes-idUSKBN2AH2GU?rpc=401&

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday
issued an airworthiness directive for Boeing 787 airplanes, asking for
inspection of the jets following reports of torn decompression panels in
the bilge area.
The directive comes as Boeing grapples with multiple production flaws on
its 787 Dreamliners that have triggered intensive inspections and more
than 80 undelivered planes.

The aviation safety regulator estimates that the directive affects
222 — 787 airplanes that are part of the U.S. registry.
Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Off the record.
Save a nickel Save a dime, We will make Takt Time.
Fix it if we get caught, it’s what we’ve been taught.

(Bloomberg) – Production issues plaguing Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner
“seem to have mushroomed,” with the plane-maker and U.S. regulators
still grappling to find an appropriate fix,
according to John Plueger, chief executive officer of Air Lease Corp.

“There’s just greater and greater levels of inspections going on,” Plueger,
who heads the largest publicly traded U.S. aircraft lessor,
said on an earnings call Monday. “As yet today, it’s difficult to see a
definitive fix.

Boeing hasn’t delivered any of the advanced aircraft since October while
it inspects and repairs tiny imperfections that have cropped up on the interior
lining of the jets’ carbon-fiber airframes.
With about 80 Dreamliners sitting in storage, restarting deliveries is crucial
to the company’s turnaround after it burned through about $20 billion last year.

Dave Lying Calhoun, Boeing’s CEO, said last month that the company
aimed to resume Dreamliner shipments during the first quarter with
“most likely very few, if any in February” and clear most of the jets in
inventory this year. Company representatives couldn’t immediately be
reached for comment on Plueger’s remarks.

Some of the wide-body jets due to be delivered to Air Lease have been
delayed more than 12 months, giving the Los Angeles-based company
and its customers the right to cancel their contracts.

Boeing has issued a safety bulletin reminding pilots of the steps required
to ensure they maintain control of their aircraft in the wake of last month’s
deadly plunge of an Indonesian jetliner into the Java Sea.

The Flight Operations Technical Bulletin, dated Monday, 02/15/2021
was sent to Boeing customers around the world.
Its purpose is to “reinforce active flight crew monitoring of the airplane”
Your job as pilots is to fly the airplane, you are not passengers,
This is not a video game.
“Aircraft state and flight path management is to prevent airplane upsets.”
Preventing airplane upsets “involves the active participation of both pilots,”

The smart phone generation are now pilots__🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Decompression panels in the cargos? Pssshh that’s like a 10min inspection per plane. No big deal.
