One would have thought there would be scheduled maintenance more often than 248 days.

Hi

That is a hope, but unless it is a fairly noddy system the chances of one person being able to actually understand it well enough for their signature to be meaningful is pretty low.

All the best

Hunterston B doesn't go into meltdown every 248.551 days, so I'd venture to suggest there's some merit in it.

Actually, that was the backup to the backup rod drop logger, which was only done to sloppy PES 1 standards, allowing for one failure every 10 years.

On the other hand, that company did go titsup, I suspect largely due to punking out on deliveries because they ran out of red pens.

Well I maintain aircraft for a living. Not 787's I'll grant you. We have systems on our aircraft that can't run continuously. Seems to me this is far more easily solved with a simple maintenance operation than a system redesign.

Item Task 22L to be complied with (cycling the electrical generators. Calender periodicity 90 days to allow for deferment.) or some such thing.

the guardian is such a stupid paper almost as bad as the mail,

"could cause a crash"
any thing "could" cause a crash .
pilot eats bad chicken-spews into electrics boom plane falls out of the sky,
some one trips on a piece of badly laid carpet and uses the door release handle to stop their fall which didnt have the safety connected, door opens, everybody gets sucked out, boom plane crashes.
snakes escape from the hold and try to eat every one, boom plane crashes.

I've been working with 787's for a little while now, and I'll be plesently supprised if you don't have to down power the aircraft at least once a fortnight for some silly fault.

Never heard of any aircraft which had GCUs powered continuously for that long anyway.

It's a non-issue, but a non-issue that shouldn't really be there anyway.


There's far worse things with aircraft going on that people don't know about (and don't need to know about) than something like this which isn't a real problem anyway.

It's like the tanks will run out of fuel if they're not filled up, not really an issue because they do get filled up... usually... with the correct metric/imperial units.
