The Russian proverb “Trust but verify” made famous by President Ronald Reagan was later morphed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo into “Distrust and verify” when he spoke about China. Pompeo’s version is just as applicable to aircraft maintenance as it is to arms control. Far too often, A&P mechanics attack an aircraft with tools in an attempt to fix an issue based solely on a squawk by a pilot or aircraft owner without actually verifying for themselves that the description is accurate. Frequently this results in costly and time-consuming maintenance that doesn’t resolve the issue. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA offers two real-life stories to illustrate this problem and talks about what pilots and mechanics can do to prevent it from happening.
