Air China said it had fixed loose wing screws on one of its passenger aircraft after a video clip of the problematic fairing during flight was shared widely online.
The part where the screw was located in the inboard canoe fairing of the aircraft is mainly used to regulate the airflow, so as to reduce drag and save fuel. Such screws are used to fix the flap track fairing tail cones, which are a part of the inboard canoe fairing. “According to personal maintenance experience, there are two reasons for this problem,” Qiu Qing, an aviation blogger with more than 300,000 followers, posted on Weibo.
“It has no impact on safety if one or two screws on the fairing were loose. At the very least, even if there is no fairing, this will not affect safety,” Chen Jianguo, a veteran pilot, told Beijing Youth Daily.
