Jump to postSo how soon after the certification flight will the fix be certified?
Anyone know how long the mods are likely to take per aircraft?

Jump to postWe don't have an inspection for them as far as I'm aware.
If the crew snag it, it would get changed. I've never seen one snagged
Very rarely changed. In the 10 years I've now been working aircraft (mixture of ramp and hangar work) The only windscreen wipers I have removed have been to facilitate windscreen removals.
Maybe I've just been lucky
A turbo prop is essentially a regular gas turbine engine. It just uses the last stage of the turbine to drive a gearbox and propeller arrangement. They call this a free turbine. They are designed use up all the energy from combustion so there is no thrust produced. So if you look at a regular GE90 s...

Jump to postDefinately rudder removal, not been torn off.
Heavy maintenance is performed by LTP in Manilla.
We have no procedure to deselect it on the 744, though I usually do on layovers or if its raining and steaming away.
deselection is accompanied by a status message so no chance of it being left off.
our 340's i never touch as its automatically selected off on the ground
We have a quality notice to pull it after any reportable incidents.
And usually Maintrol will contact you when they want it pulled.
Not pulled at any other times
