Respect for the groundcrew !!

Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints by QANTAS
pilots and the corrective action recorded by mechanics. By the way, Quantas is
the only major airline that has never had an accident.

(P stands for the Problem the pilots entered in the log, and S
stands for the Corrective Action taken by the mechanics.)

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-fpm 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 windscreen.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing. (note: this was for a piston-engined
airplane;the pilot meant the engine was not running smoothly)
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: Radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed radar with words.

In 1999 they had a 747 skid off the end of a runway. The plane was seriously damaged, but they had it repaired just so they can keep saying they've never lost a jet. It cost more to repair it than a new 747... about $100 million. But, nobody was injured.
