777 Rollback warning!!

Postby eno » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:17 am

Experts have warned there is a "high probability" that a fault which caused a British Airways jet to crash-land at Heathrow could hit other Boeing 777s.

I know it's probably normal ..... but still quite disturbing that the part won't be ready for another 12 months or so.

Yes (and do you think the NTSB would have made this much noise about P&W engines :-?)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
