Boeing 787 Production Affected by Hurricane Idalia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boeing’s production facility in North Charleston is responsible for manufacturing the wide-bodied Dreamliner. At the same time, another campus in Ladson is engaged in producing 787 interiors and engine nacelles for various Boeing aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A company spokesperson said, “We will continuously evaluate the storm’s impact on both our employees and operational activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address the potential effects of the storm, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency for the region on Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center had forecasted that Hurricane Idalia would move along the South Carolina coast on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA AD on 777<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The US\u00a0Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\u00a0<\/a>released an updated directive about a crack issue affecting all\u00a0Boeing 777<\/a>\u00a0model airplanes. The new directive was announced through an online notice on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA issued this updated airworthiness directive due to a reported crack discovered in a front spar lower chord. The original directive also introduced a new safety concern related to certain fastener cap seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Boeing first reported errors in late 2022, comprehensive documentation of these errors was not received until late July 2023 due to the complexity of the requirements bulletin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA acknowledged that Boeing plans to revise the bulletin, but because of the extended timeline, the FAA issued the new directive to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson from Boeing expressed full support for the FAA\u2019s rule, emphasizing alignment with the guidance previously shared with operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
