An issue with engine-vibration could delay 3rd A350 delivery to Qatar

3rd A350 for Qatar is already at the Customer Delivery Center at Toulouse and has completed some flight tests.

But based on what Qatar Airways CEO Al Baker has told Leeham News "there might be an issue with the delivery as one engine is close to the allowed vibration level".

Qatar might take an issue with that but apart from Qatar’s normal insistence on a perfect product to be presented at acceptance, there seems to be no real issues with the aircraft at present.

Based on the article "Bjorn’s Corner: Boeing’s 787 and Airbus’ 350 programs, a snapshot" published in Leeham News.

    What's this? Not another problem with Rolls Royce engines? Hope the management are up to the job, but then sacking all those employee's never made much sense either.

    Either an engine is within limits and then ok or it is outside limits and has to be replaced.
