DGCA directs Air India to reinspect emergency system after Dreamliner scare

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has directed Air India to reinspect the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) emergency system on its Boeing 787 aircraft. This follows an unexpected deployment of the RAT during Flight AI 117 from Amritsar to Birmingham on October 4. DGCA has asked Air India to carefully review the recent ‘D’ check maintenance, especially the replacement of the Power Conditioning Module (PCM), to check for any mistakes or issues. The airline must also inspect the RAT system on all planes where the PCM was replaced before. https://ift.tt/F9lUthg
