Ice accumulation blamed for Heathrow Boeing 777 crash landing?
Following the Boeing 777 accident at Heathrow last week, the American
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just released an Airworthiness Directive (AD) with the following title:- (Note that the engines referred to are SPECIFICALLY Rolls-Royce which will be a major blow for the Derby operation.) [This AD has been issued] to prevent internal engine damage due to ice accumulation and shedding, which could cause a shutdown of both engines, and result in a forced landing of the airplane. This AD becomes effective February 27, 2008. Details he- http://www.avionews.com/index.php?co...ante=index.php Note that at this time the UK AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch) has not confirmed the finding. -- Ian Powell Farnborough UK |

If not, what does this report (which seems to only speak about ground ice fog) have to do with the crash? -- Jim in NC |

Ice accumulation blamed for Heathrow Boeing 777 crash landing?
Oh, poppycock. The AD addresses a problem that only occurs during ground
operations, and the 777 accident occurred at the end of a long flight at altitude. An NRPM on this subject had been released in August of last year, five months before the Heathrow accident. So trying to tie this to the recent accident is ridiculous. Ron Wanttaja |

A most unfortunate time for this AD to come out for Rolls-Royce. Even if the events are unrelated. |

A most unfortunate time for this AD to come out for Rolls-Royce. Even if the events are unrelated. Actually, stuff like this comes out all the time. Minor refinements in operation because of some difficulty or another encountered. Pretty much all jet engines are operaed in this fashion and this AD seems to be pretty much standard stuff. I'd say it's issue at this time is purely coincidental. Bertie |
