PROFESSIONAL FLIGHT COURSES

 

 

Available any time

throughout the year

 


 

 

Pilots vs Mechanics

 

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during flight that require attention.

The ground crew read the gripe sheet and correct the problems, they then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action has been taken. The pilot reviews the gripe sheet before the next flight.

Never let it be said that engineers have no sense of humour.

 

P=Problem S=Solution
