  • Unless you work for the FAA, NHSTA, Boeing, or relevant Indian equivalents, I’m going to have to ask you to stop speculating.

    If it’s spring based, and one side failed, it’s possible that next to no force will flip it to one side, but it takes the expected amount of force to move it in the other direction.

    These determinations always require more knowledge than is publicly available.

    I’d like to remind you Air India has a notorious record of bad maintenance in the case of AI101 in 2018. I’d like to further point out that they landed that plane and demonstrated that Air India has hired very skilled pilots.



  • I’m not the person you replied to and I’m not familiar with India’s certificate process, but the FAA is a stickler about mental health - even for a PPL on a class 3. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting treatment or not. The fact that you have any history of mental illness is huge. It seems really fucking stupid to me, especially if you are getting help.

    I hope to god indias certificate procedures aren’t as ridiculous as the FAA
















  • It sounds like they are inspecting the oil pan for signs of metal shavings indicative of possible metal loss from engine bearings.

    It should be progressive because if you shave off enough metal, the bearing will completely fail.

    If there are no metal shavings in your oil, then the issue should not progress because it is not present.

    You should replace the bearings if faulty and there is no other damage. Otherwise, you should replace the engine.

    Interestingly, the recall report states that the ECM of the 3L engine will be reprogrammed but the 4L will only have the oil replaced if they are found to be good engines?

    Are they decreasing performance on 3L engines to match the lower than expected performance of the bad bearings so the engine doesn’t fail?
