    its a picture of A pylon from another MD plane, not THE pylon.

    It’s been a long time since I worked on this type of airplane but that looks like part of the horizontal stabilizer support.   I worked on one that had a similar crack. The McDonnell Douglas engineering team was pretty freaked out by it and insisted on fixing it themselves.   They said it was not very many cycles from letting the stabilizer break off.

  2. The last inspection was 4 years ago.  The cracks were on the inside of the lugs where the bearing is, but away from the exposed face.  No way to see them even if the pylon is removed.  The bearing would have to be removed too so you can see the entire hole.  Will be interesting to see what the inspection actually called for.  I’d wager the bearing was not removed.

    Also, the cracks seem pretty small for there to be complete failure.  It looked like there was less than 20% of the material cracked when it let go.  Doesn’t seem like a very robust design.

    Its frustrating on the level of I was extremely happy with our trajectory under Sark to I would prefer to see him leave in just a matter of months. 

    So although you don’t know details or who really is to blame, you think the program or Sark’s standing is so damaged that he is not the best person to lead the program even though 4 months ago you were extremely satisfied.   Wow.  This shit must be truly awful whatever it is.
