Tell me you're kidding, eh? I have the MEL for guidance
as well as my own judgement. Are you saying a plane is only fit to fly when an engineer gives his OK, not when I judge?
sorry Mr rainboe, again engineers use manuals not judgement... you might have a look in your cockpit for an AMM the next time you use your judgement, you will probably find that in some cases your judgement is wrong.
you think you know, but in fact you are guessing whatever way you put it!!
as for the comment about spoiler mixers... engineers have alot more to worry about than doing transit checks. IŽd hate to have to be going to an aircraft doing a transit check about 50 times in a shift. as for an outstation, if there is an engineer there, maybe it is the only thing he gets to do all day.
i had a classic example 2 days ago , when i met a pilot on nightstop who told me that they had a leaking brake...they had returned to home base in this condition... which when i checked the leak was out of limits. the pilot
thoughtit would be ok... well it was but if there had been a different senario then maybe they are dealing with a brake and wheel fire.
i have a good relationship with the pilots in my company but having read your posts and those of sns guppy it leads me to believe that some pilots do there own thing nevermind the potential consequences
