Boeing informed the FAA that on some 787s, the company may not have completed required inspections to confirm adequate bonding and electrical grounding where the wings join the fuselage body.
By Dominic Gates, The Seattle TimesA Boeing 787 Dreamliner is seen between the main runway and the Boeing Delivery Center at Paine Field in Everett, Washington on Tuesday Dec. 15, 2020.
“The FAA is investigating whether Boeing completed the inspections and whether company employees may have falsified aircraft records,” the federal safety agency said via email. “After receiving the report, we quickly reviewed the matter and learned that several people had been violating Company policies by not performing a required test, but recording the work as having been completed,” Stocker wrote.
Stocker’s message concluded by saying that he will “be meeting soon with a number of teams to discuss what we’re doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
