Always remember that it takes
a college degree to fly a plane but only a
high school diploma to fix one!
Reassurance for all those of us who fly routinely in our
jobs.
After every flight, pilots fill out a form, called
a "gripe sheet, "
which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct
the problems, document their repairs on the form, then
the pilots review the gripe
sheets right before the next flight. Never let it be said
that ground crews
lack a sense of humor.
Here are some of the actual maintenance complaints submitted
by the pilots (as marked with a P) and the solutions
recorded (as marked with an S) by the maintenance engineers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
