I reckon even after the final report you will still have people on PPrune saying ‘they pulled the flaps instead of the gear’

I believe he referred to the "preliminary report".

How safe is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, really?

Long before the Air India tragedy, the cause of which is still to be determined, people who had worked on the 787 had raised concerns about the production standards

I remember going on the Boeing tour in Seattle in the early 2010s and seeing all the parked Air India 787s over near the visitor centre with engine weights on them. They sat over that way for years.

Don't think anything new really here but a good reminder for all the issues that has plagued the 787 program.

I've got it open in a tab on my laptop ready to watch once I finish some spreadsheet stuff.

JB747 and I have both been thinking that software is a real possibility for this one...

Not a lot really new in that video, but I'm kind of feeling that a sensor has falsely detected that the aircraft is on the ground and that false signal has then triggered something in the software to reduce the engines to idle - sort of a cause and effect thing. It sounds like the 787 is so electrical and electronic that it is an incredibly complex beast - and the Air India 787 became Hal.
