Last company's DFO advised us by e-mail (very naiive) not to put defects in techlog, as they could not be rectified on turn arounds......at base. This included u/s engine anti-ice valves (2 u/s on a heavy 3 eng. jet) potentially contaminated hydraulic system, u/s engine instruments N2 and F/F on one eng and N2 on another, one u/s VHF radio, one u/s H/F radio, u/s APU, one tyre worn to limits, only one QRH between the 3 flight deck crew, unusable main forward exit, one u/s landing light and one u/s taxi light on same side. I completed 4 pages in the tech log, and the A/C still departed after mimimum turn around at base. This aircraft flies into the UK, and it is scandalous.
