  • It shouldn't be possible for those bolts to loosen. They have castellated nuts, designed to be locked by pins through drilled bolts. They could only come loose if the pins weren't installed, were installed improperly, or if the pins or the bolts physically broke.

    • Odds are the cotter pins either weren't used or a very lame attempt at bending the pins ends back were made. These types of 'castle nuts' and cotter pins are used in the automotive industry as well. I have seen plenty of mechanics do a lazy bend on those cotter pins when working on the steering links of vehicles. It wouldn't take much to get those pins to pop out over time and find yourself in a vehicle going out of control because your steering is out of control. Imagine that at highway speeds.

    • But the bolts are really just stops to keep the door pins trapped. They really dont need to be 'tight', but the nut needs to never back off and that is what the cotter is supposed to do.

    • If reports are accurate, the CRAZIEST thing around this whole cluster-f is this plane threw Failed Pressurization Alarms on 3 separate occasions! THREE previous flights! Obviously the airline tech crews never chased dnow the source of the failure, so the bolts became progressively looser as the flight hours accumulated. Bottom-line, if the airline's engineering crew couldn't chase down such a SERIOUS problem like depressurization alarms (which they obv didn't), then the aircraft should've been shipped back to Boeing for specialized troubleshooting and a replacement airframe should have been supplied to the airline at Boeing's expense! IMO, this this criminal negligence. If these guys were in the medical field, you'd be suing everyone from the doctors, to the landlords, to the janitorial staff for hundreds of millions.

Back then when technology wasn’t mature enough to only record a single flight the pilot‘s union argued that any information recorded prior to the flight segment where an event occurred could be used against the pilots even if it had nothing to do with the incident. Their right to not be overly monitored in the execution of their duties was considered important. With todays technology it should be amended to say that the entire flight with all segments be recorded in order to look for things that weren’t enough to trigger warnings or a grip being written.

  • The question not being asked, has there been any issues founded with Boeing 737 Max aircraft, where there is an actually emergency exit doorway opening hatch installed in this same rear fuselage position, Yes or No? That is compared to the Boeing 737 Max aircraft, which have instead only one of these emergency exit doorway non-opening Plug Sections installed in this rear fuselage position. If the issue is these emergency exit doorway non-opening Plug Sections and maybe with their four locking bolts and nuts too. Is this then either a Boeing assembly issues, or an Airlines maintenance and serving issue? Or is it a manufacturing issue, caused by whoever builds and supplies Boeing these emergency exit doorway non-opening Plug Sections? Or is it a manufacturing issue, caused by whoever builds and supplies Boeing these four locking bolts and nuts, to secure and hold in place these emergency exit doorway non-opening Plug Sections?

  • Typical Boeing cost-saving, no quality control manufacture. As for Alaska Airlines, they may have screwed up big time by not thoroughly inspecting the airplane for the cause of the reported pressurization faults. Next, everybody involved screwed up on the CVR--the airplane was on the ground thirty minutes after the incident, and everybody, mechanics, pilots, maintenance controllers, dispatch, should know that the first thing you do after an incident airplane reaches the gate is to pull the CVR circuit breaker to prevent overwriting of critical data. Absolutely inexcusable that they failed to do that. I believe that Alaska may need a new VP of Maintenance and Engineering, or whatever the title may be.

    • Aircraft (AN) bolts should have a castle nut, and the bolt is cross drilled, and safety wire is run over the bolt and through the nut, to insure that it can't rotate, and even if it loosens, it can't come off. That is the standard that should be done anyway for any critical bolt.

These bolts cannot continue to loosen because they have castellated nuts with a pin that prevents the nut from turning.

    • If you have ever been in an emergent situation (not saying you haven't), people often times do not have clear recollection of the entirety of the event. Often times, a persons perception also can miss things. In the event something significant happened, or something was said or ignored, it may not have registered with the pilots at the time, but be found to be pertinent to the investigation. They have ATC recordings, but not any internal plane communications.

This door does have a spring assist to help lift the door up to make it easier to open. That could be considered a weak point in engineering as it would of helped lift the door off its track.

  • (Yicai Global) Nov. 27 -- Aviation giant Boeing has begun work on the second expansion of a Chinese parts factory in a move that will double the current production space at the facility. Boeing Tianjin Composites will add 20,000 square meters to the facility in northern China, taking its total working area to 83,900 square meters, Boeing China said online yesterday. It did not disclose how much the extension would cost, but expects to complete the work in 2021. The expansion is the plant's second to date and includes new work areas and amenities, including upgraded offices and conferences rooms, a new employee canteen, underground parking, a fitness center and a baby-care room. Boeing and state-owned Aviation Industry Corp. of China founded Tianjin Boeing in 2001. It makes around 13,000 composite parts and components for civilian Boeing aircraft every month and has delivered nearly 1.5 million parts, used in planes the world over, since its formation.

    • Because airlines often don't want a door but want to be able to eventually resell the aircraft to another operator that might want a door. Door plugs are very normal, and bolting a plug to a door frame shouldn't be that difficult (it wasn't until this incident). If you can't trust the manufacturer to correctly install a door plug, then you really can't trust them doing anything.

    • The MAX 9 can be configured with various arrangements and number of seats. Some configurations require more emergency exits than others. The airframe is exactly the same for all configurations, because it is more efficient to have just one design for that size fuselage. If it is configured in a way that does not require the emergency exits in that position, then they are pkugged. My pickup has a similar option. It came without fog lamps, but there were two places for them, filled by plugs. I wanted fog lamps, so I bought the option and had them installed. It wouldn’t make sense to have to trade in my truck to get one made with fog lamps.
