I haven't seen what they were looking for, but then again there is always some writting in the cockpit so it never really jumps out at me...expect for maybe the one M90 I got in named "China Flipper", that one got a good chuckle!
Moral of story, if you are adding your handy work to the M88-90 fleet they are looking for you!
We had a MD-90 that Captains used to call "Flipper" all the way back in 2005/2006 when I was flying the 90's out of SLC. It would very mildly, yet constantly porpoise up and down when at cruise with the AP on, thus the "Flipper" moniker.
Also, this was before we got the 90s from China, so unless there is another Flipper I'm not sure the "China" part is deserved.
