The continued removal and fitting of seats using one main taskcard and with no fault documentation for the seats that were rejected.. All the LITS was done by the back door methods (were they should not have been). The BOI slates them (and the seat bay)for not doing things to the JAP. The BOI couldn't work out what work was done between the MMPs and LITS and they had a lot more time and resources than the poor sod in the docs cell who had to co-ordinate the thing. The MMPs were correctly signed for work content (bar that complete blocks were signed by one signature, that the BOI disargeed on as they believe individual sub blocks should be signed, but that is contentious for mps done by all trades). However the trimings (like completing each page to tie it to the work order etc and completion of the the front sheets) were not done, although at least the MMPs were co-ordinated by the people involved. The card returned contained about 20 MMPs and was almost the same size as all other LITS generated documentation for that maintenance.
As the BOI states in their recommendations, there were a few reviews required of the way CMU conducted their business in regards to CAMO reponsiblities for Tornado maintenance. They picked up faults with the F700 and short forecast. However it must be stated that the aircraft does not become LITS live untill the last DMS chit is checked and the DMS system is assured to have all work completed. It is only then that the last LITS MWO can be cleared and an accurate F721 can be printed. There was no F700 check done by an EngO, but RAF EngOs do not carry out that function in CMU anyway, a book audit is done by DQAFF staff. As stated, the short forecast was finally printed 4 minutes before the crew signed for the A/C. Why? because they were waiting in the office next to the desk where the book was finally being assembled! Things had gone wrong that morning when a nipped O ring seal was found on the A/F B/F. The whole post maintenance generation process was delayed, but BAE had to try and get that airtest carried out that day due to contractural arrangements with the MoD. The aircrew may not have been "presurising" but BAE managers were in the office, every half hour.
It was a horrible day.
