Mer B777 og RR-problemer

[Discus]

Denne gang en Delta 777-200ER inbound Atlanta som fikk problemer i november, samme type problem som BA hadde på LHR. En tilfeldighet kanskje, men DL kom også fra Kina! Gikk heldig vis bedre med DL enn BA, da DL-motoren mistet thrust i FL390 og fikk det tilbake i FL310

In the 13 years since The Boeing Co.'s 777 entered airline service, the plane with the most powerful commercial jetliner engines ever made has never had a fatal crash.
But in less than a year, two episodes involving Rolls-Royce engines on the 777 are giving air safety investigators cause for concern. In January, a British Airways 777 crash-landed short of the runway to London's Heathrow Airport when the autopilot tried to apply power and both engines failed to respond. Several passengers were injured, but none seriously. Now a second 777 has experienced a similar problem with one of its two Rolls-Royce engines, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday.
