Unhappy

Satis- Would i get pressure from management? No. You confirm that your captains do not make any certification on the success of the autoland and i am sure this is the case with all companies. I suppose its the same as declaring the aircraft serviceable by not entering any defects. But the point i am trying to make is the fact that this situation is an exception. i.e. we are in a system which is obsessed with legal certification to the point of stating such things as `reading light filament replaced iaw 33-00`, but when it comes to checking the aircraft will land itself safely after a no fault found situation, the person who was there at the time can make a written statement that it was ok, but does not have to identify himself. A situation that if it ended up in an investigation, would surely not hold water. I`m not suggesting the captain accepts responsibility for upgrade, but if his statement were signed for, the engineers certification is then watertight in a legal context insofar as the statement that the landing was ok is legally qualified. And in the legal world, only a signature will do.
