This sounds like a CFM problem, not a Boeing, or 737 problem...

Latches…latches…latches….oh and LATCHES. Check them from four angles every flight. Call me paranoid; thats because i am.

CFM just makes the engine to fit inside the cowling Boeing designs.

That said, this isn't a Boeing problem, but rather a SW maintenance problem (and possibly also a SW FO problem).

I thought I read on here they don’t do walk arounds every leg at SWA? Unless that’s a thing of the past.

Thing of the past, been doing them between legs for almost a year now.

That’s a thing of the past. I swap walkarounds with the FOs. And now I’m going to start bending down and looking at the latches. Yikes!

I mean, at least its not like newer planes have sensors and an EICAS message for cowl latches either.

or have an EICAS

Dry runway. 12,000 length.


Cowl latches not secured.


You land, STOP using TR on the affected engine!

You are damn guaranteeing ripping that thing to shreds and sending it places you don’t want (eg, fuselage).

 

[Minuteman]

You think they should use the TR to stop?!

Try reading it again lol.


A certain other all guppy airline is painting all of their latches orange, or so I’m told.

A certain Airbus operator did that until they were told that it was considered a modification and needed some approval. At least that's what I was told.

I am going to use the selfie stick with which I shoot my influencer preflight inspection videos to grab a shot from under the cowl and check the latch position

It occurred to me that maybe you were making a dad joke.

Thanks FAA for making things more safe .

Says the boomer CA who just landed on a snowy contaminated short runway with a 50 kt crosswind, as they release the TR handles from a death grip at 7 knots

Let us not question why they are the #6 CA in base and still bidding the milk run and then bitching about it
