November 21, 2025Nov 21 Fatigue cracks, I'm going to guess this investigation is going to be looking at how maintenance and inspections were being conducted. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

The deeper question is what parts get inspected, and to what level (visual, dye penetrant, x-ray, in place, removal and reinstall). And which parts should get inspected is always discussion. For example the average fully assembled Airbus A320 aircraft consists of 340,000 parts. A Boeing 737 MAX aircraft consists of 500,000 parts. Most of which are never looked at during the life of an aircraft. https://simpleflying.com/airliners-how-many-parts/ Edited November 21, 2025Nov 21 by PhrogPhlyer
