FMC and the TMC with relation to the on loaded software. On some B767-338 aircraft the FMC showed GE80CB6 software fitted while the TMC appeared to be loaded with B4 and it appears that the two don't go well together
Is this a re-occurrence, as a similar thing happened same time last year (or early this year)
A bad batch of software was loaded onto 767 s FMC and was first discovered by a crew flying SYD - CGK had to turn back when the conflict raised its head. A subsequent check of all the aircraft that had the recent months NAV database loaded found to have the same fault..
I can't remember what was the fix but it slowed a few 767s for a few days.

Not many engineers have posted on this issue.. Is this old news or has it happened again!
If it has happened again someone needs a boot up the ass.
Was the production of the FMC nav data base something we once did in house that has now been out sourced??
Anyone ?? Bueller?
