Past Boeing 777 autopilot problems raised

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


  

AIRCRAFT manufacturing giant Boeing said yesterday it was too early to tell whether the missing Malaysian Airlines aircraft might have suffered autopilot problems that hit another of the carrier’s 777 fleet in 2005.
 
While aviation experts described both Malaysia Airlines and the Boeing 777 as having a solid safety record, an incident on a flight between Perth and Kuala Lumpur led to a safety alert being issued for 777s worldwide.

In August 2005, a Malaysia Airlines 777 – the same model aircraft that is missing feared crashed – suddenly pitched up “violently” into a 3000-foot climb that almost forced it into an aerodynamic stall.
A flight attendant began praying and another dropped a tray of drinks while pilots fought the autopilot system, which was being corrupted by a software error.

An investigation by regulators determined the aircraft’s “air data inertial reference unit” (ADIRU) – a device that sends data to the flight computer and autopilot – malfunctioned.

(Marine LTC  Ret.)   Field McConnell sent this letter concerning the missing Malaysian Flight & BUAP earlier today..


Published on Mar 8, 2014

Attention DPA,

I am a retired Delta pilot. On 10 December, 2006 I informed FAA, FBI and NWA of the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot. It was used against Adam Air 574 in a manner consistent with the loss yesterday of the B777 enroute Kaula Lampur to China.

Please advise me if Delta ALPA Safety Reps have educated the Delta Pilot Group of the BUAP that I forced Boeing to announce on 3 March, 2007 in response to my lawsuit filed against Boeing and ALPA of 27 February, 2007. That lawsuit was Civil Case 3:07-cv-24 and resulted in Boeing doing the right thing in announcing the deployment of the BUAP to be completed by March, 2009. Here is the article of Boeing’s response to my lawsuit:

New autopilot will make another 9/11 impossible

My question to DPA and Delta ALPA Safety is on what date did Delta ensure that all Delta pilots are aware of what Boeing has stated 7 years ago would be installed by March, 2009.

The significance is that if any ALPA pilots are not aware of this ‘feature’ they cannot comply with FAR 121.533.

In regards to yesterday’s B777 hull loss expect to see the attached tax document anchoring a chapter published demonstrating the similarities of yesterday’s loss to Adam Air 574 to Sukhoi Superjet lost in May, 2012.

Please note that defattru email address goes to Russian Air Force, Sukhoi and GRU. If you are not aware of who GRU is perhaps you should be.
