BOEING confirmed 787 experienced uncommanded loss of thrust in one of its ROLLS-ROYCE Trent engines on Feb 19 due to faulty pressure-sensing component, forcing aircraft to land at Moses Lake; it returned to Everett on Feb 22 and is expected to resume flight testing soon.
She's back in the air today.
RATS!........

ZA001 is set to return to the sky after 2 PM PT for what is likely to be day six of flutter testing. ZA004 may commence taxi tests as early as Tuesday afternoon with first flight as early as Wednesday.
A few more details have emerged about Friday's Boeing "uncommanded loss of power" that occurred on one of the two engines. Boeing says that after the loss of power, the crew followed standard procedure and shut down the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 during the diversion to Moses Lake. Additionally, Boeing also checked all the Trent 1000 engines on ZA002-ZA004. The findings of those examinations are not known to this blogger.
ZA004 made her first flight today.
Meanwhile, ZA001 just hit Mach 0.92 on the radar gun.
