Perhaps he would prefer that similar hazards not be communicated to the flying public until such time as a major accident occurs. Oh, it has already, hasn't it?grumpynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-92154119796836939082013-01-31T18:53:16.377-05:002013-01-31T18:53:16.377-05:00"Care and consideration" seeming to be t..."Care and consideration" seeming to be two of the missing links in the case of the Dreamliner.

Yet, with the correct amount of care and consideration it is done every day.

Yo...Bravo, Christine! One of your top columns yet. <br />You are absolutely correct; meeting the certification requirements under the FAR XX.1309 series is an exercise in Swagging guesstimates of poorly defined criteria. <br />In the instant case there are real data that demonstrate that the 787's battery systems will not meet the .1309 definitions for either "improbable" or "extremely improbable" failures.<br />If, in fact, the JAL and ANA battery excursions resulted from exclusive sources, then there are two independent failure modes facing Boeing and the FAA.<br />Standing before a TV camera and saying otherwise is unbelievably foolish.Grumpynoreply@blogger.com
