Boeing Flap Problems
Spent the best part of the last 30 years in the airport fire and rescue service, and you get to know what particular problems effect different aircraft types, and end up requiring our attendance.(overspeed landings and associated problems). Without doubt, one of the main reasons we get called out is for Boeings with flap problems (usually a reduced setting). The majority are for 757s and to a lesser extent 767s. However, we now are getting a run of 737s with flap problems (2 in the last few days. WW and LH). Can anyone enlighten me as to possible or common causes? Is it down to similar systems etc?
Thanks in advance.
