After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Quantas' pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
(P= The problem logged by the pilot.) 1. P: Something loose in cockpit. 2. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. 3. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. 4. P: Mouse in cockpit. 5. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. 6. P: Aircraft handles funny.
(S= The solution and action taken by mechanics.)
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
S: Evidence removed.
S: That's what they're for.
S: Cat installed.
S: Took hammer away from midget.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
