Faults & reporting

Agree with SFFP and 8-15.

One must also view the reporting of faults (on MF760) in the light of RAF (not MoD) policy of the day.

In 1991 they started refusing funding to conduct routine avionic fault investigations, instructing EAs to save them up and submit an omnibus; but safety-related were funded.

By early 1993, even safety-related were not funded.

While in an ideal world Caz is correct, because a 2 Star oversaw these policy changes and supported his staffs who zealously implemented them – to the extent he personally carpeted civilian staffs who dared mention the “A” word and threatened them with the sack if they persisted - it was always highly unlikely MoD would dwell on this point. For the simple reason 2 Star and above are protected species.
