B-747-400 Loss of Multiple Displays

[goldfish85]

I'm researching a paper on airplanes that experienced loss of multiple displays. I remember a pair of incidents to two SIA B-747-400's in which multiple displays were lost. One on 6 Nov 2001 operating Sydney to Singapore and the other 23 Jan 2003 operating from Singapore to Sydney.

Does anyone have any details. I'd appreciate it.

We've had multiple display losses on our 400s as well. Usually associated with MEC water ingress. Along with other Misc. electrical gremlins, like gens and buses tripping off line.

Mostly an issue in the freighter due to the main deck MEC hatch proximity to the L1 door.

Would the QF 744 with water ingress to the GCU count? LHR-BKK IIRC. Certainly convinced Qantas of the merits of the ISFD with a battery that lasts as long as the fuel.

There was an airbus A320 that lost ALL displays while flying near the UK a couple of years back. Dont remember exactly.

One or two displays were still functional and allowed the crew to re-route the power.

Hello Goldfish,

have you seen these documents already?

Couldn't find the Singaporean report yet.

A couple of additional events, in the unlikely event you missed them:
