Fairoaks hazard
Have you been to Fairoaks airport and suffered damage from the pebble filled drainage gulley alongside Taxiway bravo?
We must congratulate the airport management for understanding the risk posed to aircraft going to close and picking up a stone, and removing this hazard during recent taxiway maintenance.
Unfortunately Gama Maintenance, are less clear sighted. They claimed a very clear recall of an incident several weeks after an incident and filed an adverse report which was inaccurate in the extreme, They claimed to have seen the aircraft wheel spats severely clogged with mud, when none were fitted. They also claimed to advised the pilot not to fly the aircraft, which was untrue, and caused distress and financial loss to pilot.
