from a news reportThe engine maker is designing a new intermediate pressure compressor (IPC) blade for Trent 1000 engines in the Package C configuration. The IPC blades came under scrutiny some 15 months ago after an engine failure on board a Scoot 787-9. Singapore's Transport Safety investigation Bureau found that two other shutdowns on Scoot 787-9s were linked to IPC failures probably caused by material fatigue. Rolls-Royce has also, since 2016, been replacing the blades in the intermediate pressure turbine (IPT) module of the Trent 1000 after All Nippon Airways reported a series of engine failures. The engine maker traced the cause of that problem back to sulphidation corrosion cracking from a RR engineer friend of mine; RR trying to make the Trent 1000 more efficient and handle the additional power (electric) of the Boeing 787- Dreamliner changed their traditional engine design so the IP would be providing more power.sulphidation corrosion Probably from too much salty air

strategically it made no sense for Boeing to pursue this as they have a high risk of totally annoying both the governments of the UK and Canada who are potential customers for many military planes. Lockheed must be smiling.

both 28R and 28L have ILS approaches but they have different frequencies, if they inadvertently entered the wrong frequency for their approach then the computer would take them down the wrong pathway.

from a recent experience on a 757 flight, American seem to be trying to replace them. they really do not have the range for their transatlantic use especially in winter with adverse winds. i was told on a flight that they had to land in Goose Bay often to pick up fuel, and as they did not have sufficient other planes they were discontinuing the ORD-MAN flights in winter, replacing them in summer with 767's.

all the flying that she and those around her did in those days was really hands on, whereas many commercial pilots these days do their great loss do mostly autop[ilot and simulator, a total lack of stick and rudder experience. They were the real pilots

whereas i do think it is essential for LHR to get another runway, i do not think it that simple, the ATC around that part of Europe with LHR, LGW, DeGaul, Schipol, Frankfurt, Munich, must be a total nightmare Robin Cooper

There is nothing like driving along in the Scottish Highlands and look to your side to see one flying below you either!!!!!!!!!!
