Thank you Bumpfoh and indamiddle for the detailed information.

The urban renewal for Mumbai's approach suburbs is interesting.

Maybe somebody didn't read the instructions that come with the Airfix - oops - Airbus kit proper like!!

Best regards all

My gen from a QF OPS Insider was also no qualified -200 Engineer on Station to sign it out.

One had to be found from Kingfisher.

Some nice planning there QF Manager guy.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story, Kingfisher have a fleet of A319 A320 A321 and some ATRs,
Not sure why CASA would give a 1 off authority to dispatch a QF flight to an airline whom do not run A332s ?

Perhaps the reason the aircraft was initially delayed was due to the fact the local engineer may have been incapacitated or hampered in some way, therefore requiring an engineer to be flown in to sort out the certification requirements.
It appears on this thread that people just want to aportion blame rather than ask why?
A small panel did come off but it in no way effected the departure time as this sort of thing is allowable (but not desirable) under the aircraft CDL.

Parts required to fix the fuel defect (the cause of the delay) were not locally available to cure the defect before crew hours ran out but were eventually sourced and defect fixed by the time the tech crew were rested and ready to depart.
:ok:

I was advised that it was a certification issue with engineering.

The aircraft was never unserviceable.

re previous post #18 .
corection: 'panel' was actually a hatch cover.
sorry about that...don't know what it was covering!
can't wait for the suggestions on this!!

It was a panel( B.F.D.), it was the thronmister cover but as we all know these are not susceptible to environmental ingress due to the tricottinium single crystal structure that allows this component to be so sturdy in any weather conditions ………….

Thats true but the thronomister is designed to supply inverse reactive current to the unilateral phased detractors.If this panel is missing then the thronomister may not be capable of synchronising the cardinal interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive duractants in the spurbing bearings which could have a direct impact on the modial grammometers......................then again that can only happen in the northern hemisphere and during a leap year.

:D:D

Nice one 'Lobe.

Good to see retirement hasn't dampened your sense of humour.
