Comment on Reverse Engineer’s Perspective on the Boeing 787 ‘51 days’ Directiveparent

Comments

Nothing. I respond to a question posing why it might be a problem. It didn't say "in a 787" it was "in general" I suggest a class of problem which it might surface in. The wider question.

All aircraft have schedules of maintenance. Requirements to reboot a computer periodically isn't onerous. It's not onerous but the insane costs of recertification are. Fixing this problem to not require reboot would be very expensive. Not just the FAA process burdens but the wider costs. 787 battery problems probably wrecked the entire profit of the model for years.

The Max flight safety issue on another Boeing aircraft may mean its never profitable. The industry is wierd.
