It does, main problems we see is the NVS (not so "Q" without it) and the fuel quantity indicator (I'm always sticking the damn tanks) |
Now that is an MEL!!

Note to self: Check the oil caps after MX touches the airplane! Just as you check the fuel doors after the fueler touches the airplane! pretty basic stuff...

Dont forget chuck isn't in charge anymore. You cant assume things anymore. We have to wait to see what happens.

Most of the planes have a fuel cap that is attatched to the airplane, which is good, so long as one remembers to put the fuel cap back on, bad if one forgets. I fueled jets as a second job last year, look at the underside of a A-320 some time, one may see a lot of nicks in the paint about 5-10 inches away from the fuel cap in a semi-circular fashion, I would deduce that is from an un secured fuel cap beating the wing up as the plane flys. Also noticed a DC-9 once that had come in, the fuel door shut, but the chain with about of a fourth of the fuel cap still attatched to it; hanging down out of the fuel door. The fuel door had either been closed or the wind closed it, but it was not latched, the rest of the cap was missing, there were several nicks in the paint on the wing. Showed the FO, he was not happy, I can't blame him either.

Thank you so much for noticing that Oil leak on the saab in the line at LGA. The mechanic forgot the engine oil cap (I hope he gets fired). You saved us from a real hairy situation. I hope one day I could buy you guys some beers. Thanks again:D
spread the news, maybe this will help take the spot light off the situation that happened at mco..:rolleyes: |
