japan

When I landed in Japan, I had to show how much fuel was left in the tanks, and the amount of oil in the engine..... they also took a fuel sample and if it looked like anything other than 100LL had been added.........non-acceptance of the aircraft for import!

Also had them tearing down an engine in China, as it had stopped momentarily on take-off. They had interpreted the flight manual. The fuel selector valve should be checked before take-off....to mean JUST before. So they had allowed air into the fuel line when swapping tanks and ......tada.....a sputter. Lead to a certain loss of face for the translator......
