After every flight, pilots complete a gripe sheet which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction.
These are allegedly actual logged maintenance complaints and responses with \'P\' being the problem logged by the pilot, and \'S\' the solution and action taken by engineers. Qantas is, as far as I know, the only major airline that has never had a major accident. P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. P: Something loose in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. P: Autopilot in altitude -hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. P: IFF inoperative. P: Suspected crack in windshield. P: Number 3 engine missing. P: Aircraft handles funny. P: Target radar hums. P: Mouse in cockpit. |
