Who would take an aircraft with a reported vibration — for which there is presumably an open (unresolved) write-up—up on a revenue flight with pax?
Maybe I’m missing something...?
As a former maintenance pilot on a completely different platform I see nothing wrong with this. And certainly wouldn’t give the notion of “test pilot” to anyone. I just wanted to confirm a couple things is all. Also, if people would write things up better than an “aircraft vibration” a lot can be fixed before a Mx flight.
