TechMan Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I will post it on the forum as waiting for it to appear in the magazine will take a few months. A report has been received of a failure which will affect all aircraft and will need to be rectified before next flight. Whilst the details are still being investigated, it is envisaged that all aircraft owners and operators will be required to inspect their aircraft for compliance with the forthcoming alert bulletin. The failure is interestingly in the cockpit area, which makes it common to all aircraft. Regardless of the care taken by aircraft owners in maintaining their aircraft, the defect only occurs once the aircraft's seats are occupied. We are presently stumped on what can be done about it, so any input from the field is gladly accepted. Please reply here and don't email me directly. Thanks Techman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have removed the seat. I can now see even less ahead when taxying, but feel a lot safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redair Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I find this alert particularly worrying, as I don't have an aircraft yet, and therefore am unable to rectify it. What can I do to comply? Please contact me on April 31st, as I will be away until then. Thak you, Redair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Longden Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you dump the seats and use milk crates, will it solve the issue? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vk3auu Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The Chinese are already ahead of you there Ben, only I think they use chook crates. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The aviation equivalent of PEBKAC for us IT folks then....must be a PEBSAC "Problem Exists Between Seat And Controls" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechMan Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Pduthoit is correct in his assumption. It seems that the fault goes away when the occupants are given sufficient alcohol after the end of daylight and prior to 8 hours before beginning of daylight.

Guest airsick Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I prefer PICNIC Matt. Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. Perhaps we could modify this when we get in our planes: Problem In Cockpit, Numpty In Charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J430 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have heard a very accurate story about a PNG pilot who was adament that there was nothing he could not do better without a 6 pack onboard! Is that an ancient PNG technique you speak of? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hey Daren, Nice Photo, looks like Emma talked you into growing a beard while in Vietnam. Is that why she always has such a lovely smile on her smile on her face? ;);) Rgds Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my belly is that round at the moment either after 7 days of gastro :yuk: But yes, the pilot above is very professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
