Bien, qq lignes de Guy Norris ce Samedi sur AvWeek !
Bon,
une directive de la FAA est dans le tube !
Au moins pour définir ce qu'ils attendent, tant mieux, et ... si ça ne convient pas au projet actuel de Boeing, tant pis ...
A voir, quand elle sera publique !
Pour l'instant, rien sur le Web !
Un "productive meeting" ce n'est pas trop rassurant en termes diplomatiques ... en gros, on n'est d'accord que sur ... pas grand chose ... , mais chacun a donné son avis, on essaye de résoudre le PB , et on ne s'est pas quitté fâchés !

Boeing says Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner Feb. 22
“
held a productive meeting” in Washington with FAA Administrator
Michael Huerta about the manufacturer’s proposal to modify the 787 battery system.
“We are encouraged by the progress being made toward resolving the issue and returning the 787 to flight for our customers and their passengers around the world,” says Boeing, which
declines to discuss details of the proposal.
The company adds it has “drawn upon resources from across the company and externally, pulling together teams of hundreds of experts and working this issue around the
clock for the past several weeks.”
The FAA, in a separate statement, notes that it “is reviewing a Boeing proposal and will
analyze it closely. The safety of the flying public is our top priority
and we won’t allow the 787 to return to commercial service until we’re
confident that any proposed solution has addressed the battery failure risks.”
The meeting occurred the same day the FAA issued an airworthiness directive (AD) requiring modifications of the battery systems on 787s before the type can resume operations.The AD is the first acknowledgement that a battery modification could allow the
aircraft to return to service.
The AD effectively prepares the ground for a modification program, and also represents the first official confirmation that such an action on this scale will be required.----------
