Aroa, I am sure they uncovered some of the standard parlous findings at Barrier that CAsA usually concentrate on;
- Pilots observed wearing partially un-ironed shirts. PENALTY 25 points.
- Pilots log book not having the correct spelling (i.e letter 't' not crossed and failure to dot an 'i'). PENALTY 50 points.
- Aircraft tyre found to have a blade of grass laying upon it. PENALTY 25 points.
- DG storage bin - found to contain an unlabelled bottle of mineral turpentine. PENALTY 75 points.
- Pilots flight manual - Ring binder found to be slightly corroded due to humidity levels. PENALTY 50 points.
- Chief Pilots Office - Failure to have a framed portait of Fuhrer McCormick hanging on the wall. PENALTY 100 points.
- Flight Deck - An aircraft flight deck found to contain lose and hazardous materials laying on the floor which could interfere with a pilots ability to operate the aircraft safely (i.e they found the job section of Friday's Australian and one copy of American Hustler on the floor). PENALTY 75 points.
- Pilot failing to wear hi-vis vest while kicking two tyres during pre-flight check. PENALTY 25 points.
Grand total = AOC removal.
