- I would like to merely offer up a first topic for discussion.
- Boeing and the FAA have conducted fuse pin inspections on
- the 747 fleet. A few of these inspections found cracked
- pins, and quite a few found a large amount of corrosion.
-
- Inspections have been expanded to include the engine mount
- pylons. What Im looking for is some specs on the shear yeilding of these
- pins and and the stuctural integrity of the pylons.
-
- Thanks a bunch,
-
