Did CFM build LEAP engines that were not needed and not those that were needed? I am sure that includes also the engines for the MAX. |

Some engines may also have been built in 2016, but not have been fully tested before year-end.

This is a major update on the GTF status. Thank you, XWB. Could we have a link ?
I get the feeling that a solution is under way for the most common problems (bearings and combustion chambers), but I don't understand what happened to the failed gear box, and whether a recurring issue is implied. Can anyone clarify ?

Can anyone clarify ? Look at their write-up, most likely they dont know why it happened and only notice it (probably by surprise) when they thought it's just another bearing failure. Could it be the GoAir aircraft which engine blown up during climb up? |

You mixed it up with the other 41 cases! Edit: This clearly sounds like the 28 cases with the #3 bearing! Please read carefully before post! |
