Laughter is the best medicine. Here goes one dose of it.
(Note: XYZ and ABC are the imaginary names used here. They have no relevance with existing ones, if any. )
XYZ is an airline company based in ABC country.
After every flight, XYZ pilots fill out a form called a problem sheet, which conveys to the mechanics, problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The engineers read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the sheets before the next flight.
Of course, the ground crews and engineers have a sense of humour.
So, here are some logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by XYZ pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
read on …..
