ASTB May 18 Update

eagle farm,

As I read this interim update, there really is nothing new except for the correction made as to the area of fatigue in the photo of the fractured stub pipe. The report does give the focus of the ongoing investigation activities, most of which is focused on the aircraft, not the engine. The only engine activity is that concerning manufacturing and quality control related to the stub pipe failure at Rolls Royce.

So there isn't much more to say until the final report comes out, sometime in the future. The recommendations contained in the final report ought to be interesting.
