. to give you an example, for the guys operating A320 aircraft, we had an ECAM that used to be generated every flight for a period of 8 months continously, ECAM : R OUTER TANK HI TEMP. This snag was written numerous times in the log and the reason it used to be generated was due to interference of communication equipment. Engineers told us to stop writing it because there was nothing they could do about it after having tried resolving the problem with Airbus. I do agree that any small snag should be written down as we are legally bound to do so. I cant understand why many people dont write things down in the log even if it is something as small as changing the bulb of the landing light .
then the engineers should have put on board details of the correspondence between them and airbus. normally airbus would issue a TFU with regard to a reoccuring problem like this. i have searched and not found anything with this message.
i know that the word of the engineer should be trusted, but in this case with a known problem, the crew should have all the info to decide whether it is an airworthiness issue or not.
