Hi again people
I think my scant information has led to a mis-intepretation of what I meant. really painted a bad picture. We do our stuff right just trying to iron out this particular area of portable emergency equipment.
We do carry out checks of all emergency equipment as required during the A checks hence notice discrepancies from the last check.
The hitch comes in the tracking as per serial number on each aircraft. We need to track every item and know where it is in the fleet. that's the main problem we're having- control and verification. The robbery really complicates this as you'll have the items there all right during the hangar check but they'll be mixed up and we have to keep tabs on them for expiry and tests. Mr spotty we have aproblem with that as you can see.
Robbery is controlled but the engineers are not always as discipline as they should be. When I said robbery is a fact of life I meant it's necessary but the paperwork has to be done right which is not the case here.
Thanks for your input guys.
