(sent to me by a friend; guess from where):
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems, known as 'squarwks,' submitted by QANTAS pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
P = the problem logged by the pilot
S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except autoland very rough
S: Autoland not installed on this aircraft.
P: IFF inoperative
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Number 3 engine missing
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Mouse in cockpit
S: Cat installed.
(stay tuned)
