Question

sunfish

a sticking Cessna flap switch that resulted in a forced landing, thankfully on the runway.
Just wondering why a sticking Cessna flap switch would necessitate a landing anywhere other than a runway. A quite common occurence with Cessnas in GA. I would much rather cruise around at flaps 20 that put down in the trees.

Back on topic - I know of a particular GA mainentance outfit that used to do 100hrlys with a pen only. You would be 'professional' and write up defects but find that nothing was fixed. Just get back a clean MR.

If you want to quick fix to this whole defecting issue - Put all pilots on the Full-time Award. Then pilots wouldn't need to worry about defecting (grounding) their income source.
