The RN allow maintainers to ground run Lynx aircraft 'engaged', subject to a twice yearly check with the MTP in the sim and a 'check ride'.Why then is it the RN will allow maintainers to G/RUN however the ARMY will not!
At the risk of inflaming the commissioned ranks, is that because the officers don't deem g/runs as worthy of their time so therefore they'll let the maintainers do it where as in the army 'cause they've got JNCO pilots 'THET CAN DO IT'!
Surely if it's good enough to let maintainers in the RN do it, in this age of jointry, why can't the army do it?
