Paul Swindell has updated the statistical equivalent POD test for ARP6821 (methodologies for POD assessing the damage detection capability of structural health monitoring).

Its basically a generic test they're performing on Butt joints to validate ARP6821. Its being carried out through Embraer.

It looks like its still on schedule!

Testing- July-September
Data Analysis- October- December
Results- US Spring 2023 (March-May).


This is from our recent half year report.

737 APB Update and Outlook

"Internally at Boeing, the SHM program received funding allowing Boeing Engineering to participate in a
meeting early this year with SMS and plans to continue interaction with SMS throughout the program".

"Boeing has targeted early March for finalizing the specifications and clarifying test requirements".

I don't know too many companies willing to fund other companies programs if they don't see intrinsic value.

So I hope they prove me wrong but first half 2023 is my prediction for the AFT Pressure Bulkhead, lets what happens.
