Dreamliner computer glitch forces Polish airline to switch jets
A computer malfunction on a Boeing (BA) 787 Dreamliner forced LOT (LOT.UL) to call off a transatlantic flight from Warsaw late on Monday and switch the passengers onto another jet instead, the Polish airline said. (finance.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Man is moving too fast.
Microwalda, it's the same as going too the doctor, they fix the symptoms instead of fixing the entire problem. Money and greed will be the end result.
Recently an Air India Dreamliner reported failure of all three onboard computers and the aircraft made an emergency landing
Too Michael Blickfeldt. If u can't love the one u want then love the u with. Greed will hurt you. Problem right now with people. What is love? Is it money? I see that technology has forgotten about things that really matter. If we don't slow down and acknowledge the Mosthigh, we all are gonna be like that 787 Dreamliner, Just a dream.
ha ha - article says had to restart the computer. takes a couple hours. had to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, get the Administrator password, had to download a new driver - must be WINDOWS 95!
This is just my opinion... Flying the 787 is my job and I LOVE the airplane. I've flown a bunch of different Boeings, Falcons, Lears, etc.. and this is, by far, my favorite. I do miss the old 727 with it's round dials and manual navigation, I was much busier in the cockpit back then (Wow, only 12 years ago -- sigh...) but the automation of the 787 is really not too much more than the 76 or 77. It's the skin, what's under the skin (i.e. the data bus architecture), the fly-by-wire, the two computers running the whole show, and the freaking awesome advanced engines that make the plane. Not to mention that it just looks sexy as hell, for an airplane lol That being said, when certain problems occur you fix them the same way you fix your laptop when it's hanging up.. you turn off the power and restart it!! I've had to do this on only one occasion, a complete power down and ground up restart of the "Common Computing Resources". It worked but did take a couple of hours. We made up half the delay by flying faster (M0.87) over the course of a 13 hr flight, still with a fuel burn that looks more like a 737, in a very quiet cockpit, at a 6K ft cabin altitude with relatively humid cabin air, active turbulence mitigation, and loving every minute of it. I think I'm a fairly decent judge of aircraft, having flown more than 100 types from L-18s to single engine jets to the 747 and I LOVE the 787, notwithstanding the less and less frequent hiccups. Still learning every time I fly it, but I'm not in a big hurry to change airplanes. :)
By the way, most of the small problems we see are fixed with a laptop from the cockpit, or by "re-racking" the hardware in the avionics bay just like we did with the old 727s, 737s, Falcons, etc..

I mean really, what's next? "787 had to delay flight due to malfunctioning toilet!!"
Surely there is something more interesting and challenging than nit-picking the awesome 787. It has less issues to date than the 747, 777, and the A380 at this point in their deployment.
Let's see some real news.
Thanks. TR
