Hopefully this will pass muster now that the lead post has been modified.
I informed the FAA about several serious design faults in a major commercial aircraft design. It took the FAA four months to respond and when they did they said the DGCA informed them that the design had been changed. I checked and found that the DGCA was not being truthful to the FAA. I wrote a second letter and when the FAA did respond the Vice President and senior program manager were fired. The design was never changed so those aircraft are flying with those defects waiting to manifest themselves. If one of the problems manifests itself resulting in the loss of the aircraft the NTSB will have a field day tearing into the FAA and the DGCA as will the lawyers..
This same aircraft is also flying in violation of the CAAs rules about the usage of bearings in certain applications.
