Must be a day ending in -y...


The Federal Aviation Administration has flagged more safety issues for two troubled families of Boeing planes, the latest in a series of issues at the embattled aircraft maker.

The issues involve engine anti-ice systems on the 737 Max and larger 787 Dreamliner. While the FAA flagged the issues in a filing in mid-February, it drew greater attention on Friday because of a Seattle Times article.

The safety regulator continues to allow both models of the plane to fly despite the potential problems. Both issues are moving through the FAA’s standard process for developing airworthiness directives — rather than an emergency process — signaling that the agency and plane maker do not believe the issues are serious enough to require the planes to stop flying immediately.

Boeing May Face Criminal Probe


Boeing could face a criminal investigation because of the door plug failure on a 737 MAX in early January. According to CNN, the Justice Department is probing whether the myriad deficiencies discovered in the initial investigations after the mishap violate a deferred prosecution agreement Boeing signed three years ago after the crashes of two MAXes. The door issue happened just two days before the agreement’s term ended.


The deal cost Boeing $2.5 billion, most of which went to survivors of the victims of the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The families fought that deal when it was struck and it was one of their lawyers who asked for the DOJ probe. The investigation is on a long list of legal and regulatory issues facing Boeing, including a 90-day deadline to come up with a plan to solve its production problems.

Not Boeing at all, but thought some of you would be interested:


On February 16, 2024. An American Airlines Airbus A320-214 registration N119US, performing flight AAL1625 from Portland International Airport (KPDX) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) after departure requested level off at 5000 feet to work out the problem. The crew declared MAYDAY, reported that they had to shut down the engine and requested return to Portland Airport.

___

These pilots are trained to such a high level that when things go wrong (they rarely do) they are ready.

The reverser must not have fully engaged or it would have been much, much. much more dramatic, perhaps fatal

The National Transportation Safety Board has not received documents from Boeing crucial to its investigation of the emergency door blowout, board chair Jennifer Homendy said on Wednesday during a Senate committee hearing.
Why it matters: Two months after the incident, safety investigators still have not determined who is responsible or how it occurred, as the company's safety culture is reportedly unstable.

  • "Boeing has not provided us with the documents and information that we have requested numerous times over the past few months, specifically with respect to opening, closing and removal of the door and the team that does that work at the Renton facility," Homendy said.
  • The NTSB's attorney is involved with the situation, she said.
