The Japanese government has given a boost to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and its subcontractors Japanese in 2008 by relaxing the certification process. So says Reuters Monday, 28 January, based on documents and testimony.
With concessions decided by an advisory committee of the Ministry of Transport, Japanese firms have thus obtained provide 35% of components and equipment for the new aircraft, ranging from carbon fiber used in the wings sophisticated electrical systems and batteries for save fuel, said participants in the deliberations.
All under pressure from airlines All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL), today the 787 major clients and thus most affected by the U.S. decision to suspend flights Dreamliner, after incidents Repeat for particular lithium-ion batteries.

"I think the change request came first airlines. This was to reduce operational costs," said Masatoshi Harigae, president of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and one of the independent experts conducive to relaxation of standards.
"REVISION PRAGMATIC"
If nothing says that this decision contributed to the problems of maintaining a Dreamliner or more frequent manual inspections would have to detect flaws earlier, however the measures taken by the Civil Aviation Bureau of Japan in 2008 highlight trade linkages between Boeing and its Japanese suppliers, and show how the pressures of ANA and JAL helped guide the opinion of the commission. For its part, Tatsuyuki Shimazu, engineer in charge of the Bureau of Civil Aviation, said it was a "pragmatic revision. We have not lowered our standards in comparison with other countries ".
Immobilization of 787 for an indefinite period following the incidents on devices ANA and JAL in January could last for weeks or months, said sources close to the investigation. This has indeed challenged the lithium-ion batteries but has been determined to date causing overheating.
After three meetings of the Advisory Committee, the last in March 2008, the Japanese Ministry of Transport has adopted 40 proposals to streamline the regulation of new aircraft. At the time, the Ministry stated that this simplification was partly intended to "quickly take benefit out of 787", including ANA and JAL had ordered copies in 2004. ANA Boeing 787's main customer, has 17 Dreamliner in service and plans to fly a total of 66.
22,000 JOBS
Easing measures were then presented as an effort to harmonize regulations with those of other Japanese countries, including the United States. At least five of these have benefited the 787, and the four mentioned explicitly. Three of them involved the testing and certification of pilots accustomed to the Boeing 777 and preparing to move to 787 commands.
"This is a very innovative aircraft, safety also advanced, but at the same time it is very close to 777 per design, said Kinya Fujiishi, a journalist specializing in aviation that was part of the commission. C ' is why we thought it would be nice to change the rule. " Another change saves time and money by exempting airlines the 787 detailed inspections on the ground after each landing, the Committee highlighting the sophisticated diagnostic board the aircraft, according to participants .
In 2009, a bilateral agreement between Tokyo and Washington allowed the Japanese authorities to certify the aircraft on U.S. manufacturing base tests approved by the FAA, the authority of the U.S. civil aviation. However, it had given the green light in 2007 to use lithium-ion batteries, which did not prevent the program to suffer further delays. ANA, ultimately, had to wait until 2011 to take delivery of its first 787.
"The success of Japanese industry is 787, then the government wants to help," said Hajime Tozaki, aviation expert and professor at Waseda University in Tokyo, which was not part of the advisory committee in 2008. According to an estimate of Boeing, a total of 65 Japanese companies, representing 22,000 jobs, working for him. Boeing raid more than 80% of aircraft orders in Japan, at the expense of its European rival Airbus.
