Sarcs # 1408 –"I can’t believe that what the report revealed as some pretty ordinary systemic deficiencies within the maintenance org and the defect reporting regime only amounted to one ASR and one RCA. etc."
There are some pretty obfuscations within the maintenance audit report, subtle touches. Like: the use of 'reporting' when discussing the failure to comply with a CAR 50 legal obligation to endorse the MR. Using the word 'reporting' throughout a CAR 50 discussion could be seen as 'naughty', it may mislead an innocent bystander into thinking, well it's not too serious then....Clever stuff eh?.
CAR 51 uses 'report' in relation to major defects and damage. CAR 50 is a whole different animal and does not require 'reporting' at all, at all. The reg requires the PIC, operator or flight crew member to
endorse the MR (or approved alternate) when they become aware of a defect or damage; in flight or on the ground. Not to do so is a breach.
So it's all into the TWM and back to 1986 and all that. Gold Sarcs.,.,. pure, undiluted solid gold. Have a Tim Tam mate. Wuzzat y' say, 27 years ?; - ain't nothing, just a drop in an ocean of time down in Sleepy Hollow.
