As someone said on Airliners it seems things are slowing down now as they have no new frames coming into FAL. Its been well over 1 month and they just had 1 frame enter which is now in station 40.

Aren't we still at 1 frame/per month?.... |

The production rate is two per month.

The production rate is two per month. How dows this match with no new frame loaded into Body Join in November so far? When is MSN017 expected to start assembly in TLS? Or are the Excel-Lists outdated? From January we should see 3/month? Walter |

I suppose A350 production ramp up is still a bumpy road ... There probably are some occasional hiccups, perhaps before introducing a rate change (the FAL is ramping up to three per month by year-end).
I'm looking forward to seeing two roll-outs per month - that will be a first step.

I think probably new frames were introduced into FAL though without any notice from our spotters? |

We had a similar event in early 2014 when the FAL was upgrading from 1 to 2 frames per month. MSN7 was loaded into FAL in early February while the next A350 was not loaded until the end of April. I suppose Airbus is now working towards 3 frames per month and the FAL needs a bit preparation.
We have seen this with the 787s as well.

Exactly my line of thought ...

Well there is only 2-3 weeks of serious work going to go ahead so maybe we will get 1 more frame in before its time for Christmas.
