Good question, some more
Is there a system in place to ensure these checks are carried out at scheduled intervals, on component replacement, and/or before an AAR sortie?
Has this requirement been properly identified, investigated, and documented in the Nimrod Air Publications?
Is there sufficient serviceable test equipment to carry out these checks, at base, and in theatre?
Is in theatre Engineering Authority allowed to waive this requirement due to 'Operational Requirement' ?
Is it possible that the 'can do' attitude of the overworked, undermanned, demoralised engineers could lead to short cuts being taken, in a misplaced attitude of getting the job done?
Is it possible that personnel would give false testimony to a BoI?
