And now a joke or two from Sally…..stop me if you have heard them before….
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 actual maintenance complaints submitted by pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
- 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: #2 Propeller seeping prop fluid
- S: #2 Propeller seepage normal – #1 #3 and #4 propellers lack normal seepage
- 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 lyric
- 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.
Thanks for joining us today and we hope you are leaving with a smile on your face.. Debby and Sally.

Loved this and a great way to start the day. The pilots and mechanics list had me chuckling a lot. Thank you, Debby & Sally. ❤ Best not to mention what's happening with hair…my landlady commented 'Can't you just sweep your fringe aside, Jane?' Now really, if I had a fringe that behaved itself I wouldn't need to threaten it with scissors! ❤
