[Az-Geocaching] just for laughs

Some of you may have already seen this. It was sent to me and I thought it was funny.


After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet,
which conveys to the mechanics any problem they had with
the airplane during the flight.

The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then explain
in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was
taken. The pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a
sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance problems
submitted by Qantas pilots and the solutions recorded by
maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only
major airline that has never had an accident.

(P = The problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = The solution and action taken by the engineer.)
