Jeremy must be one of the most responsible pilots I have ever met what a joke !They should look into more serious matters eg. Recently my engineer reported to the CAA possible fuel contamination of one of my machines - MOR submitted ( 2 occassions on the same day had to do a forced landing ). The CAA turned up 3 days later looked at the fuel installation, their report consisted of 3 lines. They did not take a fuel sample, didnt look at the fuel filter and said that the installation at the airfield appeared to be new and was therefore ok ????????. Refused to anayise a sample from the helicopter or examine spark plugs that had been fouled within 20 mins of flying. Strangely change fuel to another supplier and problem goes away immediately.
Engineering has now said that will be the last time an MOR will be submitted, as it is a complete waste of time, not even the courtsey of a reply- just about sums up the CAA really
