Engineers who do not understand simple matters of how to use an AMM or what ppm is then should not be allowed anywhere near an aircraft. Days have gone when there were plenty of engineers around in hangars or on the Line, Operators have cut numbers to cut costs. However that is no excuse for not understanding how to carry out a basic task IAW AMM!
fully agree, also no mention of the MRO 145 organisation or the AMM having a procedure in place to carry out this procedure? Quality depts and EASA audits not doing their jobs. Despite all the engine start issues that preceded this there is no mention of a tech log entry. As these operators generally rely on a crew pre-flight and only log defects at end of days flying to save paying for engineering!
