I agree with WCF et al,

A few years ago I was wobbling down a taxiway behind a pax jet in my fat, heavy helicopter, waiting for an IFR departure when me and the co noticed an open panel at the back of the jet.

Rapid discussion within the cockpit led to the answer of ' I'm sure it's sommit normal, let's not bother him with it. He'll only laugh at the thrashing bumble bee behind him anyway.'

Upon take off said jet got an inspection panel warning, turned round, landed again and s***wed up our departure slot!

Just goes to show, there are no stupid questions and occasionally it needs a swift one from the side of the field to perk up the old grey matter and brush complacency aside.

Ask away ( can't always guarantee not to give stupid answers tho!)
