Re: How Many Rotorheads...
And then there is the Rotorhead who will inform us that…
“Pedantic Helicopters reported another multiple position light failure today. This is the third occurrence in a week when it has been reported that all three filaments failed simultaneously.
After the Engineering Department reported yet again that there was ‘no fault found’ the company’s Director - Safety has agreed to look into the possibility that it is a Human Factors problem. Rumour has it that the company Check List calls for ‘Navigation Lights – ON’ prior to start up however it is understood that the switch on this type of helicopter is actually labeled ‘Position Lights’.
Following a meeting with the Chief Pilot it has been agreed that the recently recruited young pilot in question will undergo a retraining programme; just as soon as his bruises have healed and he is able to sit down again.”
