After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor! Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. (P = the problem logged by the pilot.) (S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.) P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. 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 feet 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, and be serious. P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget.

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - OH, MY G-D!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier; but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!"

I drove to Melbourne from Morwell this afternoon (Sunday) around 3PM While driving between Moe And Trafalgar I noticed what look to be a two seater Drifter flying over head. I'm wondering if anyone knows who owns it as I didn't know there was any such craft over this way. Ill like to take a closer look sometime If I may

Ive occasionally seen in movies an airport some where in USA where the runway goes over a major freeway. In other words the planes land on a bridge that goes over a road Can anyone tell me where it is

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the afternoon With her for $500. They did their thing, and, before he left, he told her that he did not Have any cash with him, but he would have his secretary write a cheque And mail it to her, calling the payment "RENT FOR APARTMENT." On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing That the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a cheque for $250 and enclose the Following typed note: Dear Madam: Enclosed find a cheque for $250 for rent of your apartment. I am not Sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was Under the impression that: 1 - it had never been occupied; 2 - there was plenty of heat; and 3 - it was small enough to make me feel cosy and at home. However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, That there Wasn't any heat, and that it was entirely too large." Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for $250 with the following note: "Dear Sir: First, I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment To remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if You don't have enough furniture to fill it; please do not blame the Management. Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your Present landlady.

I intend at some time in the future (may be a long term thing) obtaining my pilots certificate (when finances allow and I get the OK from the Minister for all things Domestic) I'm wondering about the thought of readers as to which way to go. A/-I can get lessons locally (around 10 mins drive from my home for $160/hour in a Jabaru 160 B/-I can get lessons from another place around 1.15 hours away for $100/hour in a Thruster TST 300 My way of thinking if I take the second option and do it in 2 hour blocks I would be saving over $1000 overall (Minus the petrol cost of the extra traveling) Any Thoughts?

Pet Sheets I'm wondering where pet sheets can be bought and also where do you buy foam sheets. I recently did some work in a school bus for a gent who was transforming it into a camper. He lined the walls in 50mm foam sheets I asked him where he bought them from he replied from a friend if a mate of his son and he paid a fortune for them and he would sell the leftovers to me for some ridiculously high price. BTW Arthur about time for a photo update on your web site :big_grin:

I must remember that one for some of my Clients:big_grin:

One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?" Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree...

Bum Steer A blonde woman walks into a chemist and asks the assistant for some bottom deodorant. The assistant, a little bemused, explains to the woman that they don't sell bottom deodorant, and never have. The blonde, unfazed, assures the lady behind the counter that she has been buying the stuff from here on a regular basis, and would like some more. The shop assistant thinks for a minute, knowing full well that they don't stock, or have ever sold, such an item. She smiles at the thick blonde pillock and says, "One moment please, I will get the chemist." The chemist looks at the blonde and says, "Can I help you miss?" "I would like to buy some bottom deodorant please," says the blonde. "I'm sorry," says the chemist, "we don't have any." "But I always get it here," says the blonde. "Do you have the container it comes in?" "Yes!" Said the blonde, "I will go and get it." She returns with the container and hands it to the chemist who looks at it and says to the her, "This is just a normal stick of under arm deodorant." The annoyed blonde snatches the container back and reads out loud from the container, "To apply, push up bottom."

Age Thanks The reason I posted this question was that I asked here at home the other night if and when I get my License who would come up with me. My 4 Year old daughter Piped up and said "I will as long as you don't go upside down" So I was wondering if there was an age limit

I'm wondering is there any age restrictions on age of PAX in Raa resisted A/C Darren have you ever taken your Daughter up?
