trainer too 2,
The Dutch CAA did a SAFA based on the reputation of the Airline.
Errr, my point exactly... Also what I wrote is no nonsense. My company got ramp checked in Switserland, and the Swiss were not happy with the condition of our aircraft, and decided to let us ferry fly the airplane out, but without a load. The same aircraft landed a week after that in The Netherlands, where it was met by the Dutch CAA. The Dutch CAA would not allow us to take a load onboard and told us we could ferry fly the airplane out.
An inspection was never done by the Dutch CAA, the inspector involved had heard about our ramp check in Switserland, and decided it wouldn't operate commercially out of The Netherlands neither. This particular aircraft had been worked on after the Swiss ramp check, and discrepancies had been rectified by maintenance. However, the Dutch CAA never botherd looking at it, their mind had already been made up.
So dear trainer too 2, before you open your piehole, I suggest you think first.
Avman: Sorry, have corrected the name, altough that's not my point.
