After the engine issues are resolved, If I were SLF, I would do my utmost to travel on the A380. The damage absorbed by this airframe and still be able to return its passengers and crew safely to the ground, is a great testament to the engineering and design of the most magnificent passenger jet yet to take to the skies.
That'll upset a few 'Bent Nail' worshippers.
I have read all (I think) of this thread and note that one or two have posted that the RR and EA engines are interchangable. I find this very hard to believe. Is there a citation somewhere? If it's true it has to be a first, surely.
Also regarding boroscope inspections, someone posted that this can not be carried out by line maintenance. Why not?
I've done enough boroscoping out in the wind and rain to know it can and is done, so what makes this case any different?
I'm here to learn, not criticise.
EHAs/EHBAs. Are they similar to the units used on the Vickers VC10/Avro Vulcan etc?
