787 batteries under the microscope! After the incidents on the 787 All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, the investigations are continuing. The batteries involved, have been put under the microscope by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. An update follows… It is now two weeks that the 787’s in service have been grounded; two weeks since the batteries have been under investigation, and still no sign of at least the beginning of the slightest explanation. The U.S. N.T.S.B. ( National Transportation Safety Board ) investigators, will now undertake a microscopic examination of the charred portions of the lithium-ion batteries; painstaking work that will inevitably take time. "There is still much work to be done before we can identify the causes of the problem ... This is an unprecedented event, we are very concerned ... We cannot accept that fires may occur at edge devices. We know that there is something wrong! The short-circuit, fire, overheating ... all these things are indicators that something is wrong, but why, their interaction, which was the trigger, the sequence of events: things that are 'We have to identify it!" And tongues are starting to wag. According to the New York Times, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have recognized that they had to change several batteries on their Dreamliner before the events of January: Ten for ANA, "several" at JAL. The reasons ? Overheating or malfunction. Unusual anomalies when we know that the life of such batteries is normally two years. In waiting to unravel the mystery, Boeing is continuing with production of its 787's but suspending its deliveries. The priority for the C.E.O. of the air-framer is, in effect, to solve these problems so that the Dreamliner is back in the air as soon as possible. For the time, the U.S. civil aviation authority, the F.A.A., is far from giving the green light.
