I'm still not really sure why the AMO licence was suspended. The CAA blah blahed on about 'safety, lives at risk etc etc', but they haven't actually mentioned what
specific issues they have with Nwides AMO, and what needs to be done to get things going again - or is it the 'non-identifiable parts' issue?
VB seems to refute that - I must say, due to the technical nature of this, the press, and the public, clueless as they are, are just going to buy into the CAA actions, regardless of their merit. This whole issue is being muddied by CAA randomness. Maybe Nwide have some issues, but with our CAA, it's not so clear cut at all. And
VB was right, this has occured before, and it wasn't detected then either. Maybe Boeing need to shorten the mounting bolt NDT inspection/replacement period? It's a pity
VB punted that obvious FOD rubbish so soon after the accident.
