The Federal Aviation Administration said it is investigating
the incident.

Uh! So the panel is carried without reason on regular flights? Imagine
how a plane could look like! ;-)

No air left the pressurized cabin through the whole? Even more
interesting that fuel was still suffiecient although this whole should
have caused additional drag. I imagine an airpline plane landing in
Greenland because of fuel starvation due to lost panels.

Since the whole didn't go the hole way through the walz of the airpline,
there was no big sucking sound.

That is one hoakey news story. And the Blog with the picture is even
worse. This was a PAC access panel that blew off. My guess is that it
is on the CDL (Not that I would want to do an Ocean crossing with it
missing). I like the FA's reference to a "Shaking" noise.
What is interesting is how certain doors or panels, when left open
will make noise at certain times and not at others. It does make sense
that they noticed this out of 10,000 when they would be
accelerating.

Guys,

This is fundamentally a maintenance issue. Shouldn't we be discussing this
on rec.aviation.owning?

Since when has beeing On Topic had anything to do with RAP Grin. A
large part of this story has to do with the crew's decision. That
makes it relevant. These planes are operated with panels missing all
the time. Have to wait and see if this turns out to be a maintenence
issue.
