A locking pin that was meant to secure the main nose gear of a Lufthansa Boeing 787 Dreamliner that collapsed at Frankfurt Airport as engineers carried out maintenance on the brand new aircraft was not inserted into the correct hole. Instead, the locking pin found was found in a storage box in the avionics bay below the plane’s cockpit, aircraft accident investigators have revealed.
“Boeing’s (newest) Fatal Flaw” (Frontline documentary) “pins that can be pulled with zero guardrails added after a failure has already occured, to prevent death”.
I mean this sounds like something that should have a light. Like if my tires are low I get a warning.
