No argument there. Just relaying what the tech log said.

Still.. how about they put some streamers on, a bit more obvious, especially with a second officer with only one line check instruction on how to do a walkaround.

Two people signed that aircraft out. The engineer and the captain. You can't sack one without the other. Surely, it isn't a sackable offence otherwise Rick "Gear" should have been sacked and that could be used for unfair dismissal in the labour courts.

From what I heard from our mechanic the other day: Pins were originally stowed away in cockpit, non critical tire change needed so a pin taken and installed. This wasn’t logged in the AML. Not enough time, so tire change cancelled, gear pin was left in. The usage of gear pin was transparent to the operating crew.
