Un que j'avais mal (Pas assez) lu ....
C'est exact, Indigo avait raison qq part ...
Il y en a pour 6 mois, selon P&W pour "Fixer" le PW1100G !
Ce sera "Minor" et "retrofittable", et ça c'est bien, les clients peuvent prendre livraison en attendant !
Maintenant, Airbus doit faire le tri dans les clients, entre ceux qui veulent attendre ou pas, et je ne vois pas pourquoi tous le moteurs sont démontés ...
Sauf que je soupçonne, un petit pré-fix en cours non mentionné , hum
(Un léger calage de la fixation sur le Pylône par exemple, ça a été vu chez d'autres de mémoire ??)
La vraie bonne nouvelle est que ce n'est pas trop difficile à régler techniquement, ouf !

UTC president and CEO Greg Hayes, speaking to analysts and reporters Jan. 27, said he remains “extremely confident in the technology of the geared turbofan,” adding that a needed fix to the PW1100G powering the Airbus A320neo is
“pretty minor” and will be completed in the first half of 2016.Qatar Airways backed out as the planned first A320neo operator in December, citing engine-related operational restrictions, and the first PW1100G-powered A320neo wasn’t delivered to Lufthansa—the new launch operator—until Jan. 20, missing a year-end 2015 delivery target. Owing to a cooling issue, the GTF has to idle for three minutes following startup before it can taxi under its own power.
“The Pratt team
has identified the fixes” needed to solve that issue, Hayes said. “It’s a software fix and
a minor hardware fix … [that are]
relatively simple to do.” Engines with the fix will start being delivered by the
end of the second quarter and the small number of engines delivered before then
will be retrofitted with the fix, he said.
