Hi all,
Need some advice. Prior to despatch ( i.e. moving by own power), if we've a problem with the aircraft , is it always a requirement to get the engineers to sign for any defect ?
We had a igniters fault while starting and returned to stand. Reason he said , we haven't despatched yet.
I had the same problem about a year ago, with a different captain and we just did a manual start i.e both igniters on without returning to the gate to get the defect sign off.
So, i'm now a very confused FO now
.
Aircraft is A320.
Someone plz enlighten me.
Was a return to gate required for all defects prior to despatch? even when the mel indicates no maintenance actions required?
Thank you.
