As a qf pilot I wholeheartedly agree. A Casa inspector accompanied me on a walk around. He asked me to talk him through what I look for and what I've been schooled in by Qantas. Now in my many years of flying I've talked to engineers as often as I can to try and gain more knowledge from their vast experience to improve myself but In this case when asked about various aspects of the health of the aircraft I stuck to exactly what our books give us and he was surprised how limited it was.
