Boeing is again experiencing problems with the production of its 787
Dreamliner, which is why safety inspectors want to perform their quality
checks retroactively.
 
According to the Wall Street Journal, this would appear from an internal
government memorandum dated August 31 and from sources familiar with the
circumstances.
 
Boeing reportedly informed American aviation regulators about the production
of parts by the South Carolina plant that did not meet its own standard
regulations.
 
The Federal Aviation Administration would now consider accelerating an
investigation of 100 affected aircraft. Of the 1,000 Dreamliners that have
been delivered since 2011, approximately 900 could eventually qualify for
further inspection.
