Boring Bus statement coming up! A recently issued NPA (Notice of Proposed Amendment) to JAR 145 proposes that 145 organisations set up reporting systems for tech document discrepancies or omissions (some already exist). MEMS systems will help only if someone high up uses the information constructively.
Reading other comments in this thread, I can tell that you have all, at some time or other, experienced less than subtle pressure with regard to the job and paperwork.
I always think that it is best to put MM references down. If it all ends in disaster and the AAIB, NTSB, ATSB or whoever, starts going through the records, your last job will be recorded properly. You cannot account for the idiot who fools around with a system you have previously signed for without recording his/her subsequent involvement. I know a couple of people who have lost authorisations over this through no fault of their own.
