Boeing lead balloon 787? ANA Boeing 787 Dreamliner Diverts To Russia Following Engine Problems

[Denizen]

There has been a string of 787 incidents involving Rolls Royce engines as well as a number of other incidents.

The recent incident of Vietnamese aircraft failing to lower its landing gear is still not resolved despite the hordes of Boeing shills crying pilot error. If that incident was pilot error it would already be closed whereas the investigation is not scheduled to conclude until end of first quarter 2020. If it was simple pilot error it would already have been resolved.

Boeing has lost its mojo and its reputation as the 737 incident and other recent incidents accumulate.

Yesterday, on September 27th, an ANA Boeing 787-9 had to make a diversion to Khabarovsk, Russia due to an issue with the left-hand engine. According to the Aviation Herald, the aircraft was performing flight NH206, going from Vienna, Austria to Tokyo Haneda airport in Japan.

What happened
Flying with 194 passengers, the crew of NH206 noticed a drop in oil pressure for the left-hand engine. This was first reported 460nm north of Novosibirsk in the south-central region of Russia. As a result of this, the decision was made after some time to divert to the city of Khabarovsk, located closer to Russia’s east coast – this is 2050nm from where the issue first occurred.
While the city of Khabarovsk may not be known to many outside Russia, the airport sees a fair amount of traffic – including two daily Aeroflot flights from Moscow using Boeing 777s. It also sees regular service to Seoul and Tokyo Narita.
A safe landing was completed and there were no additional incidents reported. A replacement Boeing 787-9 (with registration JA899A) was sent to Khabarovsk to shuttle the passengers onward to Tokyo. In the end, the flight had a total delay of 15 hours. As for the occurrence aircraft, it was still on the ground in Khabarovsk some 24 hours after landing.

Raising more questions for Rolls-Royce
The specific aircraft in question was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with registration JA873A. According to Airfleets.net, this aircraft is just over four years old. What is of particular interest is that this jet is powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
Unfortunately, the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines have been in the news far too much in past months for all the wrong reasons. At its peak, the Trent 1000 issue grounded 44 aircraft, which was, in fact, less than Rolls Royce’s original prediction of 50. Major airlines affected by the issue include Norwegian, Air New Zealand and British Airways.
ANA had to cancel quite a few flights last year due to issues with these engines. The airline’s fleet of Dreamliners includes the smaller 787-8 as well as the longer -9 and largest -10. Of these variants, only the 787-8s are powered by GeNX powerplants. The -9 and -10s fly with Trent 1000s.

Just over a week ago we reported on the delay of Rolls-Royce in solving this crisis. When contacted, Rolls-Royce told Simple Flying:
“On 6 August 2019, with our Half Year Results, we cautioned that the rate of recovery in Trent 1000 Aircraft On Ground (AOG) this year was likely to be slower than our original plans.”
Conclusion
Engine issues can arise with any plane operating any engine. However, it seems that Dreamliners operating Trent 1000 engines are more often making diversions. Hopefully, Rolls-Royce can stick to this newly revised timeline.

We have contacted both ANA and Rolls-Royce with requests for comments or official statements. However, at the time of publishing, we have not received any additional response from either party. We will update this article should we hear back.

Let see, according to the angry radical U.S. left, the venerable U'S. based airline company, Boeing, manufactures "lead balloon" aircraft but the Russian Soyez rockets that are designated to take American Astronauts to the Space Station are fine. It kind of makes you realize which faction of American society is influenced by foreign agents.

You Progs are going to invent the 1981 Ford Pinto soon.

"Winning?" Interesting choice of words. Let's lay our cards on the table, what's the point? Is the crazy angry left so out of control that they are willing to unfairly accuse American companies of shoddy manufacturing because they hate the President? The crazy thing is that the American left has become a tool of foreign agents.

Boeing needs to find another Alan Mulally and hopefully the FAA has learned to quit outsourcing elements of the certification process to Boeing itself. In dealing with our foreign trade deficit, we need Boeing to resume its place as an important positive contributor.

The 'First Tool' is unchallenged in that regard.

Donald Trump is deregulating America to death.

Donald Trump hates science and technology and despises their practitioners.

Donald Trump at least considers science in his choices instead of making it up to fit a left wing scam.
