Hi Chris,
I was hoping to hear from you.
But... may I dare to insist on my specific question?
If at the gate you have a steady ERR code 3 (3 as an example), what do you do?
Do you require the aircraft to be dispatched with an entry in the techlog, or do you just ignore the problem and depart without such any entry?
This is my question: the legal aspect of departing without any entry in the techlog for an ERR code which, in fact, is "normal" according to the MAINTENANCE section of the MEL, but which you are NOT supposed to deal with.
One little suggestion to improve your wonderful website, Chris, if I might:
the Fuel Quantity Indicators you have depicted for the - 3/4/500's are the Smiths ones.
According to the DDPG, for this kind of gauges the acceptable codes are only 1, 3 and 6.
The other bunch of acceptable codes, (1,3,5,7) are for the other type of gauges, the Simmonds ones, (not depicted on your site... btw if you wish I can send you a picture in a few days, as we have a fleet completely mixed up with all sort of classics coming from every f****** corner of the world).
The Smiths ones have a less detailed ring scale, 5% "big" squares, while the Simmonds have 2% smaller squares.
Looking forward for your thoughts about my question.
