2000hrs or 1 year, it does not matter. What is significant is that when, on 7th June 2006, XV230's Limitations Log read "Wing stations at rib 7 port and stbd not to be loaded. Fuel leaking ......", neither period had been achieved. So, I ask again, what claims have been made against MPI?
And what is SIGNIFICANT is that this fuel leak would have been rectified otherwise IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE GULF WITH BOZ PODS FITTED. You yourself have just stated it said in the lim said that boz pods were not to be fitted. So the leaks would HAVE to be RECTIFIED before the pods were put onto the jet. What part of this do you fail to understand?
What type of claim should be made against MPI and for what tell me? Me thinks your years away from engineering are clouding your memory of the basic principles of aircraft servicing and airworthiness.
As as for that or any other jet having hundreds of faults, you are all living in cloud cuckoo land.
Mad Mark hit the nail on the head, what size of 700 do you think that would take to hold.
Sure jets have ADFs and Lims but do you honestly think that we just stick everything in the book, or even don't bother and just lets jets fly around unsafe. Keep putting into question the ground crews professionalism and you will get no more help or comments from us.
