> After every flight, 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
> maintenance complaints submitted by pilots and the solutions recorded
> by maintenance engineers. By the way, the airline these came from is
> the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

> Pilot: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute

> Pilot: DME volume unbelievably loud. Engineers: DME volume set to more

> Pilot: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. Engineers:

> Pilot: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. Engineers: IFF always inoperative
> in OFF mode.
> Pilot: Suspected crack in windshield. Engineers: Suspect you're right.
> Pilot: Number 3 engine missing. Engineers: Engine found on right wing
> after brief search.
> Pilot: Aircraft handles funny. Engineers: Aircraft warned to
