Wizofoz, Maxiumus & TURIN
I don't have a MEL next to me now but how about,
scenario 1,
jumbo feighter the potable tank can't be filled, can't we load bottlesss of water instead? might be no hot coffee for a coffee-loving pilot.
scenario 2,
a passenger door slide cannot be disarm from the exterior handle (but ok from interior handle). full passenger loading expected. can't we tell the next station not to open from outside?
case 2 maybe more debatable but I should say in both cases the pilot has the right not to take it.
professionals are being paid premium for solving problems acceptable to most people. we have to navigate through the niche part of engineering & operations world.
I'm not saying we can dispatch something in the MEL saying 1 installed, 1 required. just something not listed in the MEL then our chance to think/ask go or not.
Who do you fly for H721? I'm not having a go, I just wondered if your country's regulations were different to mine that's all
TURIN, from your profile you are from uk. for your interest my section L a & c licence examinations are both conducted by uk surveyors.
