So, where in that are QinetiQ holding things up?
Flying an aar sortie that nearly took the tail off a VC10 as the tp was holding the cc incorrectly. Not admitting same and insisting on fitting an absolutley ar$e trim warning system (10 month delay).
Flying MOS onto natural surface and concluding a Sqn pilot would need a strip 5500' long to be able to use it safely. (What the he!! were they DOING on that strip???!!!???
)
Jumping chox by downshifting all 4 engines at the same time and then claiming there was a problem with the equipment.
Not avoiding all the above and more by familiarising themselves with the SOP or aircraft.
And when have QinetiQ used their 'expertise' to get something out on time and to the users requirements?
That's where I have my beef. Bring on the sale.
