US Air Force has a fix for two major KC-46 problems
Citat: Two of the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker’s major technical problems may be in the rearview mirror.
The U.S. Air Force on Feb. 1 announced it closed one of the Boeing-made aircraft’s six category 1 deficiencies — which indicate problems that impact operations or pose a safety risk — and downgraded another to the lesser category 2 status.
The two issues both revolve around components for the KC-46′s Auxiliary Power Unit, or APU, which is manufactured by Honeywell. The first deficiency was logged after the Air Force documented APU duct clamps, which are located inside the tail of the aircraft, were becoming loose or (zabranjeno)ing, Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost said during a roundtable with reporters.
The second problem involves the APU drain mast, which Van Ovost characterized as “a small metal piece that’s outside of the back of the airplane” that was not properly welded and would come loose during flight.
