Quite so,
tinyrice! And as it's such a well-known feature, I'm
sure that RESPONSIBLE maintenance teams give these areas the extra attention they deserve during regular, routine stopover checks.
After all, this
did happen shortly after TAKE-OFF.
It's well and good to say that everyone is "aware" of these problems, but unless some ACTION is taken to CHECK on them (at
every turnaround) then the same reports will continue to come in.
Until someone is eventually
KILLED!
