I can add my two cents worth to the debate on write up's at NJS. The seviceabilty of HF radio's was the only contentious issue I ever came across and it was purely a matter of interpretation of several different pieces of documentation. Otherwise if it was broken it was expected you would write it up. Now I saw plenty of pilots that thought they were "helping" the company by not putting it "in the book" until the end of the day. Irrespective of their view or the possible subliminal encouragement they may have received from above for this behavior they were never helping anyone to anything except the increased risk of a NCN.

Agree with all of the above respondents, in 9 years never detected any pressure to not write up a defect, and most definitely, NJS are far from perfect

Every time I transmitted on it the fuel qty needles moved, and the digital ones in the EFIS aircraft, usually centre tank from memory.

I believe there was a SB which added some RF chokes to the center tank wiring but that was to do with TCAS I think.

Lot of power going out in very close proximity to the qty wiring.
