Can anyone confirm that all of the e-model stainless steel bleed air ducts have been replaced with Inconel ducts under TCTO 1397? I don\'t see the TCTO listed in the -1 anywhere so that tells me it\'s been completed on the fleet but I wanted to see what the masses had to say before I put it to rest in my mind.

To be honest it would make sense to change them all out, that thinwall steel is getting pretty damn old.

I had one in the cargo comp go while I was sitting back there having a smoke, what a god awful squeal it made!

We had to divert into Aviano, since we didnt have the fuel to make a no-pressure route through the alps (coming back from a triple shuttle into Sarajevo).

We ordered a new duct and the stuff was so old flanges on the leading and lagging duct cracked putting the new duct in!

AWWWWW another week at the Alpino, swilling cappuccino and eating pasta.
