The aircrew can't see in the intakes so are they supposed to drag steps across the pan or should there be a cherry picker on hand?
They do check things they can see - such as for leaks, tyres and loose panels etc but when do you take the word of the ground crew that an aircraft is handed over as fit for flight and when do you start taking panels off in case something has not been connected inside?
Not having a go just wondered where the line is drawn.
