Maybe I should have said, “ How poor maintenance practices can have an effect on a normal flight.” However I was referencing the effect relative to the failure mode. This is in direct reference to MIL-STD 1629, which outlines the procedures for performing a Failure Modes Effect Criticality Analysis. This is the world I live in and it is governed by a dictionary of technical terms and not the Oxford Dictionary.
Your critical analysis of my comments is typical of this and other forums on PPRuNe in which one individual tries to prove how smart they are by showing how dumb the other guy is. This seems to be a part of the British mentality. IMHO
