What is the most amount of defects you've ever flown with on a modern airliner?
For me it was 34, with about half being related to Cabin Defects. At least 3 defects had operational procedures associated with them. Many others deferred due to "NIL Spares" or "Nil Time". My personal favorite "BITE Test Performed - No faults found"
From the top of my head:
- Broken sunvisors
- Broken FO sidestick PTT switch
- Broken headset holder
- Parking brake light inop
- WX Unreliable
- APU Inop (after wet socks smell)
- FAC2 made inop, as it was causing "spurious": RUDDER TRAVEL LIMITER SYS 2, RUDDER TRIM SYSTEM 2, YAW DAMPER 2 faults
- Rudder control rods corrosion, mandatory inspections till next C check
- Damaged armrest, sharp plastic
- Flight deck door difficult to close
- Speaker volume fades (as flight progresses, 100% volume ends up sounding more like 20%)
- F/CTL FCDC2 Fault after every takeoff
- CPDLC fault
- Altimeter setting wrong according to some ATS units
- Printer inop
Everything was in the book, checked by engineers and within MEL time limits. Would you fly such a plane or reject it? And if so, on what grounds?
