Somebody said
"AAR has therefore been quite rightly suspended until the cause can be identified and is the subject of an ongoing investigation. If the fault cannot be identified, then AAR may not resume. All engineers work to commonsense rules and do not 'mis-represent' or 'whitewash' the facts - unfortunately, a lot of 'information/facts' in this forum have been distorted and sensationalised."
Just to clarify a wee bit on that , checks are carried out to the relevent AP which as you know is our bible to working on aircraft. Also extra things are checked if you have a sound knowledge of the system. If no fault can be reproduced to what the given AP says then its handed up the chain for somebody higher than the engineers who do the job to make a decision. I just like to clarify this , if some people who are not familiar with the RAF , this is how decisions are based. Dont want you all to think us techies have the power to decide everything
in other words somebody with a bigger wage packet makes the call then and may ask for further checks to be carried out
