3) What's "Defects Found During Attempted Transit", specifically "Attempted Transit"
4) What's a "Loan Item" and why are there "Loan items"
5) It's ST Aero I think that does the MX for Qantas isn't it?
To answer you briefly without going too far into things,
1. Defects added to the a/c's tech log by the crew on the SIN - SYD sector.
2. A defect which can continue until ground time permits rectification or spares become available or MEL expires, etc.
3. During the transit check routine these defects were found.
3.5 Attempted transit means this aircraft was replaced by a "serviceable" a/c.
4. To limit spares holdings on station airlines pool spares and borrow from the pool, or in this case spares borrowed from the maintenance provider in order to despatch the aircraft.
5. Singapores maintenance/engineering company.
Hope this helps.
