Didn't the flight or cabin crew tell you what it was after you reported it?

You did report it to someone right?

Cool

Looks like an aerodynamic seal has come adrift, not a major drama, it is a rubber seal that normally goes between two surfaces to eliminate gaps and maintain aerodynamic smoothness.

yeah, i reported it, the CC spoke on the phone with the cockpit and the reply was "no biggie", allthough I think the 777 was flying with some aileron trim to the right the inboard left aileron was about 5 degrees down in cruise so i suppose they were flying with some trim applied.

DaveReidUK Brilliant BUT could you put a warning about not eating and drinking at the PC when you post ones like that? Thanks.
