After every QA flight, pilots complete a serviceability sheet that
conveys to mechanics any problems with the aircraft during the flight
that need repair or correction. The pilot completes the top half listing
the problem, which the mechanics read & respond in writing on the lower
half, the remedial action taken, so the pilot on the next flight of the
aircraft can review the form prior to take-off.

Here are some actual loggeg maintenance complaints & responses.

QA, by the way is the only major airline that has apparently never lost
an aircraft caused by an accident.

P+ The problem logged by the pilot.
S+ The solution & action taken by the ground engineers.

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

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 ft. 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 & be serious.

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

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.


Never let it be said that ground crews & engineers lack a sense of
humour!

:D :D Some good ones there and well done for spelling the airline correctly. A lot of people on here seem to think Mary Quant founded the airline!;)
