It is no coincidence that this thread is running on the Freight Dogs forum (in case the moderator was thinking of moving it!). Do I get the impression that there is a greater reluctance to log defects by operators of aircraft that have had a lot of original equipment removed for a freighter conversion? ( all those clipped breakers!). As part of safe design, aircraft have a great deal of systems redundancy. The problem comes when it is decided to use that redundancy for commercial purposes.
I too resigned from a company shortly after deciding it wasn't a good idea to cross the pond with only one gyro working. That was after demonstrating how the transfer system worked.
The crew that took it, got away with it. So I was the one with the problem.
