Boeing down in India

Yes there is a back up power source.

But the guy is full of shit, the Spar valves aren't spring operated, they are motor operated.
If they were spring operated they wouldn't need backup power supply.

8:22 of the video, this guy is making claims based on 2nd hand knowledge and Googles AI search.
The automatic shutting off of fuel supply during power failure is obviously stupid and Boeing does not design the system to do that.

The 787 is a wonder of electrictricky and software, there was a tonne of issues with software when it first came out, there would be new software to load almost everyday for the first year or so of service. Many of the new electrical things that used to be Bleed air powered have proven to be less reliable than Bleed systems, and much of the electical system can, and does give grief.

BUT, the FADEC/EECs on the engines are old technology that has been around since the 80s, simple stuff like fuel systems, spar valves, heat exchangers, hydraulic pumps, electrical generators, etc are all just updates on older technology. In many cases new cars have far more electrical wizardry that a 787 does.

Most of these video on YouTube are by completely clueless people usign 2nd hand information, or a Pilot who has read the FCOM and spoken to some engineer/mechanic (who himself probably can't remember exactly how the system works from their training 10 years ago).
I've not watched much of Stig Aviations videos, but from what I have watched he has made some errors in the information he has given, so even there none of the info on YouTube is 100% accurate.

There’s this one guy on Instagram who only flies Microsoft flight simulator, putting videos out on this shit. He doesn’t even have a pilots license and he admits it but he’s commenting on this stuff. It’s wild

Have you seen some of the shit Irene is putting out lately come on they’re exploiting the hell out of it

Always a guy in the crowd gotta ruin my jokes.

Don't forget to tip the strippers.

I think every forum I have been on for a length of time I found a poser wannabe typing from mommies basement

I had thought about doing some sort of YouTube thing around aircraft engineering in the past but decided against it for a few reasons:

A, it's a clear breach of my works social media policy
B, I'd have to interact regularly with the weirdest spotters
C, People at work will think I'm a looser
D, I'll think I'm a looser
E, I just want to do my job and go home

I guess there would be some benefit to people who genuinely know what they are talking about giving out info, but I'd just be downed out by the click bait types.

Just not worth the effort.

There’s plenty of people out there doing it and there’s a couple that are actually fairly decent and then there’s the other that are just trying to capitalize on the attention. We’ve got a bunch of my airline and we just fucking rag on them all the time.

Just saw a quick blurb on some youtube and the last transmission that went out was something to the effect the "we are not making takeoff power" or something like that.

Makes me wonder it they chose the wrong de-rate and maybe the wrong flex temp?
As in selecting TO2 instead of TO and maybe it was a TOGA but they used local temp as FLEX temp.
Just a random thought.

When in doubt go to TOGA

Flex temp.

Does that limit power based off EGT?

Flex temp.

Does that limit power based off EGT?

No, it tricks the airplane into thinking it’s operating in a different temperature to not use full power. It helps preserve engine life. That’s the simple explanation

 

[BoilerUP]

Improper flex/derate could explain what appeared to be rotation at the very end of the runway, given the massive cloud of dust immediately after lift off.

 

[NoDopes]

Would that cause a rat deploy?
