All of which strongly supports clarifying that it was a HiFly machine and crew, not a Norwegian one, on an aviation site of all things. Instead of perpetuating the confusion, how about changing the thread title to reflect this? Be the solution not the problem, all that. Everyone moans about the shoddy reporting in the mainstream press, but then...
Also, "ongoing B787 problems" could more accurately be described as "ongoing Rolls-Royce problems".
Not that details are the strong suit of the Interwebs and the legions of experts that frequent these forums, but hey, baby steps.
As to the remark about fuel jettison altitudes, the ICAO-recommended minimum altitude is 6,000 ft to allow adequate atomization and dispersal of the fuel. Manufacturers may have different altitudes, ie B787 4,000 ft. And of course in an emergency if the crew deems it necessary they do what they have to. But in this case I'm confident that an earlier poster is correct - it was simply left open on landing.
To be charitable, perhaps it was a valve failure...
