QED ? and by the words of an engineer no less. "engineers are human, and as such can do mistakes"
Aha. . . . & then it is bolted together again & off it goes.
As previous posters said, it is not a criticism of your professionalism or ability, merely an observation based on your admission that mistakes can & will be made (Oh & in some cases we talk subsequent to a "bad experience" )
We make mistakes, you make mistakes, but we are the ones left holding the baby, trying to avoid "dismantling" your good work all over the countryside.
To further complicate the issue, our mistakes , and their consequences ,are felt in real time. Yours may lie in wait for days, months or years before something goes twang.
I should add, that we sympathise for the lack of "protection" that you don't have from flight time regulations etc.
We don't expect you to be perfect, as indeed we are not in a position to claim or demand "perfection", but please don't question our misgivings when flying an aircraft after it has been dismantled into thousands of pieces, our misgivings are based on hard experience.
