Boeing 787  Dreamliner experienced its first operational problem on Sunday, five days after its global debut on regular domestic routes in Japan, it was learned Monday.
All Nippon Airways’  flight 651 departed from Tokyo International Airport at Haneda and was scheduled to arrive at Okayama airport at 8:50 a.m. Sunday (11:50 p.m. Saturday GMT). But it failed to make a landing as planned because of a sign in the cockpit indicating that the main landing gear’s hangar door would not open automatically, informed sources said.
After the aborted landing attempt, the captain operated the main landing gear manually and the plane landed safely some 20 minutes behind schedule, the sources said.
None of the 249 passengers and crew members were injured.

After the landing, ANA found a problem with the hydraulic valve that operates the hangar door and exchanged it with a new one.

ANA (All Nippon Airways)  accepted the second Boeing 787 Dreamliner on October 13 2011. The 787-881 N1014X (msn 34497) became JA802A on delivery. The second Dreamliner is expected to fly to Japan this weekend.

The Dreamliner’s first regular domestic service will be the Tokyo (Haneda)-Okayama route starting on November 1, with a flight on the Tokyo (Haneda)-Hiroshima route also departing the same day.

The new type will also be introduced on the Tokyo (Haneda)-Beijing route in December, marking the aircraft’s first regular international service.

The Dreamliner’s first regular domestic service will be the Haneda-Okayama route starting on November 1, with a flight on the Haneda-Hiroshima route also departing the same day.

ANA will also operate a special charter flight between Tokyo (Narita) and Hong Kong on October 26 and 27. It will be the world’s first passenger flight of the Dreamliner. On the following days (October 28 and 29), excursion flights departing from and landing in Narita will allow more customers to experience the increased level of comfort associated with a flight in the Dreamliner.

Boeing celebrated the delivery of the first 787 Dreamliner Monday to launch customer All Nippon Airways (ANA) during a ceremony adjacent to the factory where the airplane was assembled.

More than 500 employees representing the 787 program walked alongside the all-new jetliner to present it to ANA executives as a crowd of thousands looked on.

Boeing chairman, president and CEO Jim McNerney called the 787 “the biggest innovation in commercial aviation since the Boeing 707 introduced the world to passenger jet travel more than 50 years ago. I want to thank ANA and all the employees of Boeing and our partner companies for the talent, technology and teamwork that have brought this game-changing airplane to life.”

During the ceremony, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Jim Albaugh presented a ceremonial key to ANA CEO Shinichiro Ito, who said the Dreamliner would “play a key part in ANA’s plans for international expansion.”

Boeing is starting production of initial parts for the first stretched 787-9, and is “on track” to achieve payload-range and empty weight targets after completing the critical design review (CDR) in mid-September.

First deliveries of the 787-9 are set to begin in only 27 months, and long-lead items such as the production tooling are already under construction. These include the fuselage assembly mandrels for the two stretched sections of the 787-9 which is 206 ft. in length, or 20 ft. longer than the 787-8. The new production jigs are being installed at Alenia Aeronautica’s Grottaglie plant in Italy which will make the extended Section 46 aft fuselage, and at Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which will assemble the enlarged forward Section 43. Both fuselage sections will be extended by 10 ft. over the current one-piece composite fuselage barrels.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO, Jim Albaugh speaking at the Jefferies conference said that the 787 just has 24 hour more flight testing left to be done to complete certification testing for the Trent-1000 powered version of the airplane. Boeing expects to receive type certification for the 787 sometime next week and plans to deliver the first 787, ZA101, to ANA next month. 

The last bit of F&R testing (which is being undertaken by ZA102) will be completed by this weekend which will allow Boeing to submit the last bit of paperwork to the FAA. The FAA will have a review board meeting with Boeing to go over the the type certification of the 787 which is expected to result in the FAA granting type certification. 

Yet to be done is the F&R/ETOPs testing for the GEnx powered version of the 787. There is still isn’t any clarification as to when that will be started and when Boeing plans to deliver the first GEnx-1B powered 787 to Japan Airlines. Boeing is still talking to the FAA about that testing regime for the GEnx powered 787 and which aircraft(s) will be used to conduct that testing. 

Albaugh also indicated that the long pole in the tent with increasing the 787 production rate is the North Charleston facilities that Boeing had bought (previously owned by Vought and Global Aeronautica). Those facilities are the “pinch point” according to Albaugh.

Boeing and ANA  have completed pilot training in Seattle, WA, for the first airline crews who will fly the 787 Dreamliner. Ten ANA pilots concluded their training after each pilot performed flights in ZA001 – the first 787 flight test airplane – over Washington state. These initial crews to go through training are ANA’s senior training pilots and check airmen and will conduct both simulator and airplane line training for ANA in Japan. They will be the first pilots on 787 commercial flights for ANA.

Design changes made the noise reduction possible. The wide-body plane is the first passenger jet to be largely built from lightweight and environmentally friendly composite material.

The jets were fitted with very high bypass-ratios, advanced acoustic linings, new engine inlets and nozzles and a more aerodynamic wing.

“We have gone to great strides to try to reduce the noise signature of the aeroplanes to be better stewards of the environment, better stewards of the community,” Boeing test pilot Captain Craig Bomben said.

The company says that the results are a big leap for the aviation industry.

The first of six Boeing 787 Dreamliner test aircraft this week passed 1,000 hours of flight in the testing program, Boeing said today.

Boeing said Dreamliners equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent engines have accomplished 90 percent of the testing needed for certification. Other Dreamliners are powered by General Electric engines. Testing of the GE-equipped planes is not as close to completion because those planes flew later than the Rolls-Royce-engined aircraft.

The first production Dreamliner is due for delivery to launch customer All Nippon Airways in the third quarter of this year. That’s more than three years behind the date Boeing initially promised.

Etihad Airways has bought more Boeing 777 jets and cancelled several orders for the US maker’s 787 Dreamliner orders.

The Abu Dhabi airline’s decision is being seen as a strategic move to reduce its exposure to the delayed Dreamliner programme.

The changes should help it avoid the risk of further delays with the Dreamliner affecting its aim to open new routes.

Etihad has converted options and will buy three 777-300ERs, it said yesterday. The three aircraft cost US$852.3 million (Dh3.13 billion) before standard industry discounts.

At the same time, the airline also cut orders for four 787-9 Dreamliners, the all-new jet that is scheduled to be delivered later this year to its launch customer ANA of Japan, some three years behind schedule.

The four jets are worth $872.4m at list prices and the cancellations reduce Etihad’s total orders of the Dreamliner to 31.
