Jet battery system concerns pilots
TOKYO >> With Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner now back in the sky, Japanese pilots are nervous about whether they would receive enough warning about any hazards with the jetliner’s new battery system.
Toshikazu Nagasawa, director at the Air Line Pilots’ Association of Japan, said some pilots remained concerned about the changes Boeing made to the 787’s lithium-ion batteries after two incidents involving smoke or fire led to the grounding of the fleet early this year.
Nagasawa said the pilots were also dismayed that Boeing did not adjust its cockpit displays to provide more substantial alerts if the batteries started to overheat.
