Perhaps a cabin fume event would be a good example.. How does the captain determine whether a burnt smell in the galley was a defective door area heater, or light balast in the ceiling cavity above the galley, or just over cooked fish? Maintenance watch advises that there is no history of similar events... I hope he doesn't look out the window and realise that there is no suitable accomodation, look at his watch and realise he is not getting paid, and decide the wife's roast chicken at home sounds like a much better option...
