Bullet head and Seldom use it.

I don't want to get into a pissing match here. It is MEL able on quite a few a/c types. Maybe not the mini versions you guys may fly or dream of flying. And believe it or not with the a/c I fly it it is MEL able on the underwing and not the overwing fuel caps. Fancy that.

Let's think about it for a moment. Do you honestly think manufacturers would design a/c which carry tens of thousands of kilos of fuel in such a way if a refuler forgot to put the cap on the whole lot would piss out under the wing as the a/c got airborne? Think about it.

Try checking your a/c's CDL bullet head it is ususally located after the MEL.

Next please!!!
