I am sorry Brigid, but at two in the morning on the line I do not want to be working with some one who has to phone the tyre shop or battery shop. I want them to know. as for the instruments, then that is my territory so he should be talking to me. that is the problem with the US system. there is no dedicated avionics role. In a world of increased electronic aviation systems that leaves you as being a safety risk. I say that as someone who has worked on avionic systems from the aircraft on the line all the way down to component level in an avionic workshop. I have been and I still am appalled at the level of systems knowledge that is required to gain a license. but none of this has anything to do with valve caps!
