…...we could draw a lot more, and not just from the FAA!
Speaking of maintenance and CASA. Funny but true story emerged from Avalon Air Show. The WWI aircraft display included a highly unusual (in the modern day) rotary engine. Not the Mazda kind either.
CASA insisted on attempting to ground the aircraft due to multiple engine falterings (failures) during the mock battles. Whoever the CASA Expert was, attacked the very guy who brought them their with accusations and zero research, rather than go and ask the question about the apparent failures. There is still doubt as to whether the truth of the matter had sunk in after his educational moment.
Mark Skidmore who likewise had no idea what or how one worked (and was keen to learn) was at least going to follow it up with the gestapo………..but one would doubt the offender learned anything from the experience.
So despite perfectly normal operation and lovingly maintained….you can still be grounded or an attempt on it at least, despite what the MR says.
What hope have you got with compasses and fuel gauges then
