FAA certifies 787 for fewer maintenance inspections
AIA dailyLead | 12/23/2008
The FAA Maintenance Review Board has agreed that high-tech composites used in the airframe of the 787 will allow the plane to be inspected less often than current models. The 787's first required external structural inspection will come after six years of normal operation, compared with three years for the 767. AviationWeek.com (12/22)
