EASA Warns Of Potential Airbus A380 Fuselage Gaps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2024
- The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned that there might be potential gaps in the fuselages of certain Airbus A380 aircraft - an issue which could reduce the structural integrity of the jet. The regulator issued its final-rule airworthiness directive (AD) on January 31st, 2024, which includes instructions for operators on addressing the potentially unsafe condition.

Thank you for this prompt update. I will go out front to visually inspect my A380.
By the way I might need to borrow it
same
Thankfully I just sold mine
Just cannot let Boeing have all the fun??
Great to hear this just 3 days before I embark on 2 x 380 flights.
Can’t be worse than the crew scheduled to fly on these planes
Thanks for the info SF
EASA vs. FAA, the difference can't be clearer. Preventionary vs. Reactionary.
Europeans are better lol
You probably are not in the aviation industry.
The FAA issues warning airworthiness directives just like this all the time that instruct airlines to inspect aircraft for the potential issue or any early signs of it occurring.
id imagine emirates isnt too thrilled
But has Emirates actually had any issues with their A380's fleet ?
Since there aren't any aircraft close to the stated limit, inspections can be done during normal maintenance cycles.
How many spare parts are still available for this aircraft given the fact it is no longer in production?
I dont know for sure, but the manufacturer is probably contractually obliged to supply spares for X number of years after the aircraft itself is no longer being made. This is normal practice for very many industries.
Many critical areas of the A380 production line are still present (gathering dust mostly) for exactly this reason.
Great
Nice
hmmm
They like no.47 similar to the A340-600 fr.47
Ever since the Alaska max incident all i hear about is just missing or falsely installed parts in all types of aircrafts
cool story bro. Stick to greyhound then
@@aerialbugsmasher lmao!
So True!
MOSTLY Boeing... Be honest...
@@stickynorthNot really, the A380 possible gaps, the A350 paint issue, engine issues on A220 and A321N meanwhile Boeings and Embraer have the same engine but with little to zero problems.
Epoxi shim time
Like Bondo but structural
Nothing that duct tape wouldnt fix.
But but but the media said Boeing bad airbus good 😂😂😂
sounds expensive
Nickoliver gonna be happy
Oh god yeah. He will love this won’t he!
Strange man he is. If 10 Maxs fell out of the sky tomorrow, he would still defend Boeing.
Maybe secretly it’s Mullenberger or Calhoun eh?
Attention seeker for sure!
@@nickolliver3021 THE LEGEND HAS BEEN SUMMONED
@@troll4898 FROM THE ATTENTION SEEKER!
@@nickolliver3021The Boeing god has been summoned! (you)
Boeing: Thank you Jesus, it's not about us
Just put some JB weld on the cracks.
Cripes - but I'm still loving that Etihad livery.
Lol
Gap is better than unbolted door plug…
Worse actually
I think they’re all bad but more importantly, it shows that mishaps can happen during manufacturing and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the plane is dangerous or the company doesn’t care.
Guess who is the supplier of fuselage for AirBus? Spirit Aero systems. Think it's high time they shut shop.
The fuselage for the A380 was built in France and Germany
@@thenome3156 Yes bud Spirit Aero systems have factories in Europe
Spirit builds wing components for the A380, not the fuselage.
❤arrête de me fatiguer merci bisous
1st?
Nope I am
@@Vinnie417. no one cares
@vinnie417 you aren't
Ground the damn things
Still Id fly Airbus anytime over Boeing.
Spirit Aerosystems supplies numerous flight critical plane components to Airbus. Including fuselage barrels ,and wing spars, on the A-350.
@@fomfom9779yeah but the Alaska incident was not spirit’s fault, also the systems spirit builds for Airbus is based in Europe not in US
@@jeruelnathan1845 It is yet to be determined if Spirit's employees, who were reworking the fuselage rivets at Boeing's Renton, facility were responsible for the removal and re-installation of the door plug. Spirit designed the A-350 fuselage barrels, which are manufactured in Kingston, NC.
@@jeruelnathan1845it doesn’t really matter where it’s based. It’s the same company with the same management. All the operations are controlled from their home base in Kansas.
@@FlyByWire1 Exactly. And per news reports, Spirit states, in its stockholders financial reports, that it's losing money on its Airbus operations. So anybody thinks they aren't going to try to economize on the production of those items, is fooling themselves. Unless they go back to Airbus, asking for more money. Good luck with that one.
At least they arent doing what Boeing is doing.
This is clearly all Boeings fault.
Pathetic wishful thinking
How is this boeing's fault? This is airbus, not boeing... The 737-max9 was boeing fault, but not this.
@@Georgetwentyten Sarcasm
@@Arun-bz7py TRUE
@@Georgetwentyten Are you from the US?
0:09 "There might be potential gaps...." Sounds like another bunch of bureaucrats trying to justify their existence.
Interesting how Airbus decided to be transparent with its "quality escapes" now. Of course they knew this fault from the beginning. Suddenly, afraid to have this secret exposed, decided to ask EASA to give the bad news to the customers...
Airbus issued this back in October 2023. Note sure why SF is only picking up on it now.
Could be.. potential.. rumoured...
Unlike boeing
Are... certainly... faulty..
Report sponsored aka bribed, by Boeing😂
My thoughts too, they just never want to accept defeat
If you actually think that then your beyond help in society
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 I guess that you haven't seen what they have done with the FAA.. 😂
Airbus didn’t want to address the issue themselves so they waited for the EASA to address it. Don’t ask me how I know 🤫
This still has nothing on the Boeing sitch... YIKES!
Classic whataboutsim
