That sort of ****box machine is pretty much evidence of the way the industry works, and is believed to be the normal thing.
Oddly enough, in my admittedly limited time spent in Aussie GA I never ever found an aircraft like those of which
Centaurus posted.
And I state here for the record that if I ever do, not only will I refuse to fly it, I will write into the MR each and every defect I find! Oh, and I`ll make a photographic copy of the list with my phone which will be `used in evidence` if required!
I`m too old to put up with **** like that!
And I have this dream of living a real long life!
