I’d still like to know what happened with that air ambulance that crashed in Philadelphia.
I believe the delay in releasing information means the issues leading to the crash were specific to the airplane that crashed, not to the 787 fleet.
The weak link, Boeing. The NTSB, FAA all are relatively unfamiliar with the detailed systems operations/ interactions. That is why Boeing engineers must be included and with “ honest” answers.
This is a high viz event, $ billions ride on the outcome. Lawsuits, design failures, system failures, FAA AD’s alone could cost Boeing millions to correct if it is a design flaw or a simple component failure…..$ millions more if an emergency AD is issued, all aircraft grounded till fixed.
In any case, we can monitor the FAA website for emergency AD’s, this will be the very first place to look.

* I am not accusing Boeing of stonewalling or cover ups, but after their 37 fiasco, they should be watched very closely.
This is a weird one, with the RAT deploying and all. So was there a single engine failure and the function engine shut down by the relatively inexperienced copilot? Before they publish THAT as the cause EVERYTHING has to be gone over. Just my $.02
And/or the Indian government is hiding something.
I wouldn’t rule that out, Captain Steeeve.
