By the way all A/V’s have cracking issues.. That is why the planes are pulled from service to check for cracks. In the old days when people were allowed to smoke it was easier to see the cracks.. The cracks had brown stains around them..
This is only one of the latest quality/maintenance issues.
No, but he is the co-pilot.
Pilot error...
Missed this, Yep, this has to be pilot error. American companies never make mistakes. I think most of that crew here are engineers, If you ask an engineer, engineers never make mistakes either. Can’t happen, even if it fails it was properly designed to fail. lol
I interpreted his comment as... If god had meant for man to fly he would have given him wings. lol
I always used pickle forks to remove ball joints...wish I had known they could be used in the kitchen...
Yep - the headline was meant for "lay-persons".
We know that inspection intervals tend to change over the length of an airframe (or drive-train), as more data is collected. It's the process every aircraft model goes through. Yawn....
Yeah, it seems like a rather important piece of the plane. I'm guessing it would be upsetting to the pilots and passengers if the wings stopped being attached to the body...
Between the software and now this, I'm wondering if at least a few corners were cut in the engineering analysis of the consequences of increasing the wing size and max takeoff weight of the NG versions.
Boeing evidently has issues with its current engineering staff (How many H1B's?) and management.
FADEC is more responsible for aircraft deaths than MCAS.
Were these forks made in China?
A quick Google check, and yes, these planes were made in China.
Boeing 737 - Assembled from part including those from:
Xi’an Aircraft Industry, China.
Korea Aerospace Industries.
Asian Composites Manufacturing, Malaysia.
Chengfei Commercial Aircraft (CCAC), China
Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing, China.
Aerospace Industrial Development Corp, Taiwan.
Chengdu Aircraft, China.
BHA Aero Composite Parts Co. Ltd, China.
The A/V is assembled and Tested In America!!!
“If one got in that pickle, they’d be forked.”
ROFL!
I don’t care where the Audio-Visual material was prepared.
Or were you referring to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_A_V
A/V stand for Air Vehicle.. That is flight line terms..
