this is getting tedious, unlikevice .......
Please state where I have said for the pilot NOT to do a walk-around prior to flight???
I simply stated that the safety culture / whatever places at least two barriers one probably by the engineer and the second probably by the pilot to give the best chance of finding something wrong with the aircraft.
And I could not understand anyone not realizing that is why we as pilots do a walk-around (minimum) ....... durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
