A wee bit of humour to ease tension

Featured Replies

Hello, Trying to ease tension over Avsim dropping offline.   Report of Captain to Maintenance of Faults.    P= Captain.  Mech.= Maintenance.

 

P: Test flight OK except auto-land very rough.

Mech: Auto-land not installed in this aircraft.

 

P: Something loose in cockpit

Mech: Something tightened in cockpit

 

P: Dead bugs on windshield

Mech: Live bugs on order

 

P: Mouse in cockpit

Mech: Cat installed

 

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

Mech: Took hammer away from midget.

 

                Some others available.  Richard Welsh.

P: Engine 3 missing

 

M: After brief search engine 3 located on starboard wing

Gents,

 

I took over an airplane one day that had just been signed off by maintenance with the following:

 

Pilot:  "Cockpit door hard to open/close."

 

Mech:  "Ops checked normal.  Recommend pilot buy a membership at Gold's Gym."

 

I made sure the fellow who wrote it up got a copy.  I'm not sure he thought it was nearly as funny as we did.  :lol:

Great idea. Not only a smile on my face, but a big burst of laughter on a dreary "I really don't know what to do weather" morning in Toronto.

We once had the same complaint about the cockpit door in a Fokker 70, but we couldnt reproduce it on the ground. Turned out it was caused by slight deforming of the frame due to the big differential pressure at cruise altitude. Wish I thought of that joke back then hehe.

Pilot words of wisdom:

 

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

If your flight is going remarkably well, something was forgotten.

The three most useless things to a pilot are: Fuel left on the ramp, altitude above you, and runway behind you.

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Great idea. Not only a smile on my face, but a big burst of laughter on a dreary "I really don't know what to do weather" morning in Toronto.
