    Qantas Airline Flight Mechanics

    After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a
    gripe sheet thatconveys to the mechanics problems encountered with theaircraftduring the flight, which need repair or correction.
    The mechanics read and correct the problem and then respond 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 logged maintenance
    complaints and problems as submitted by Quantas pilots and the
    solution recorded by maintenance engineers.

    Quantas, by the way, 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 mechanics.)

    P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
    S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

    P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
    S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

    P: Something loose in cockpit.
    S: Something tightened in cockpit.

    P: Dead bugs on windshield.
    S: Live bugs on back-order.

    P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet
    per minute descent.
    S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

    P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
    S: Evidence removed.

    P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
    S: DME volume set to more believable level.

    P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
    S: That's what they're there for.

    P: IFF inoperative.
    S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

    P: Suspected crack in windshield.
    S: Suspect you're right.

    P: Number 3 engine missing.
    S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

    P: Aircraft handles funny.
    S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be
    serious.

    P: Target radar hums.
    S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

    P: Mouse in cockpit.
    S: Cat installed.

    P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds
    like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
    S: Took hammer away from midget.
