Title: For all you people who write vague bug reports
Post by: Vengeance on March 03, 2005, 04:36:08 am

After every flight, Qantas 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 Qantas\'  pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S)  by maintenance engineers.

By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an  accident. . . . Enjoy!

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 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.

And the best one for last. . .

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

The proper term for a midget with a hammer that breaks aircraft is - gremlin.

If I get those kinds of comments back after reporting serious issues, I wouldn\'t feel too safe flying.

Haha, those are pretty funny. Isn\'t it odd how most straight, common answers are the funniest? Some people just try too hard to be funny, and then they fail. My favorite would have to be:

P: IFF inoperative. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

It reminds me of \"PlaneShift Crystal Blue works best with your computer ON.\" :D

The midget and Engine 3 ones are also very funny.

I loved that, as a maintence chief in the service many years ago, I know how some people can report problems and those solutions are great.

I am still laughing.

I can\'t believe, that airplane pilots can write such an idiocy... They must have at least some intelligence...

Nice Post ;-)

If it was a \"subliminar\" way for making the people writing better bug reports, I would rather suggest a little document with \"rules\" on how to do that, in the bugtracker page :-)
Maybe not everybody can read them, but at least somebody will get scared ;-D
