Have never had any trouble on a SAFA-inspection, and never had one that lasted more than 15 min.
I completely fail to understand why peeps are concerned about these checks - as long as you just stick by the regs and carry the paperwork required, ie do a completely normal planning and aircraft pre-departure inspection, there is nothing in a SAFA-check that can catch you unawares.
Examples stated above... Worn "exit"-sign (sorry, but a bit of a no-brainer in my book), checking each and every NOTAM (oh, so we don't do that before departure??), cargo-net required (shouldn't we know what is required equipment on our aircraft anyways??), No O2 used if above 410 (so it's ok to pick which regs we want to follow and which ones are just too much bovver?) - I'm sorry, probably just me, but the above leaves me puzzled...
