Incident: ANA B789 at Tokyo on Mar 28th 2020, dropped engine panel


An ANA All Nippon Airways Boeing 787-9, registration JA837A performing flight NH-919 from Tokyo Narita (Japan) to Shanghai Pudong (China), was in the initial climb out of Narita's runway 16R when a small plastics panel (size 30x16cm, 11x6 inches) departed the right hand engine (Trent 1000) without being noticed. The aircraft continued to Shanghai for a safe landing about 2.5 hours later.

The aircraft also performed the return flight NH-920 on schedule.

When the aircraft landed following the return flight NH-920, a post flight inspection found that the panel was missing from the right hand engine.
