whatever company vehicle you drive i suppose you have to fill in a defect sheet, so the defect can be rectified.
here we have some genuine defects and the actions taken to solve them. enjoy.






Qantas defect logs

This is funny...And for real
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!
