"Boeing said last week it won't deliver more 787s until the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration instructs it on how to prove the Dreamliner's flammable lithium-ion batteries are safe."
Whatever the source of the quote, if Boenig is doing that, it is in contravention of the AD, as the FAA state clearly the company itself must "demonstrate the battery system is safe". They also require 'methods and materials' to be submitted by the OEM to the ACOM. Boeing cannot possibly be painting themselves as a "victim": "show us what to do?" Could their public position be that childlike?
The Lithium install violated virtually all of the considerations required by FAA from the git..
"AD Requirements
This AD requires modification of the battery system, or other actions, in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA."
