Hi,
Just looking for opinions on a question I had in a written test in an interview process recently.
The question asks that while doing your walk around you see a small amount of fuel leaking from a drain mast on an engine and what your reaction will be...
Options included choices such as 'doesn't matter', 'refuse to fly the aircraft and report to maintenance' and running the engine for 5 minutes to see if the leak stops.
Well I've always been told and common sense would dictate that fuel leaking from something is abnormal but after mentioning the question to others and searching online it seems the reality is less clear and certain amounts of fuel dripping are acceptable.
The question was on a test for an operator using A320s by the way.
Would be useful to know what others think and how you'd answer such a question?
Cheers.
