Titan, snags are not defects, if you believe this, I would suggest you've either forgotten what working in GA was really like or under estimate how CAsA has changed.
I may have been out of GA for 13 years but my memory is very clear. My time as CP of two separate organisations and Maintenance controller is still just as clear today as it was 13 years ago. Please provide a CASA reference to what a “Snag” is and your argument will have some weight. A “Snag Log” is a shonky GA term invented by shonky GA operators. It's not as if operators weren't using them in my time as well you know.
A defect is a defect is a defect, period.
