Hah, metro weather radars. Whilst I miss the Metro I don't miss the useless radar in them. You can write it up but its a pointless exercise. I remember a concerted pilot effort to write up the linear deviation switches, the ignition lights and the lack of audible A/P disconnect alarm (single pilot ops). End result? Not a thing changed for years.

I went into the office of the safety manager and he was genuinely at a loss as to why I was cranky. After all, we had put the safety reports in. Therefore the system worked! That nothing had changed was of little consequence, he'd done his job by running the SMS. The decision to actually do anything was out of his hands you see, lots of signatures required etc etc. Was like pounding my head against a wall.

I put in a safety report about the safety reporting system after that. They just deleted it.

Good times.
