mechanical components do wear out and fail. Why is this an issue here? It could belong on any carriers aircraft, and as a matter of fact it does happen.....all the time , and on everybodys ships. Of course with the current climate of shipping out work overseas, and to contractors, and not utilizing dedicated Inspection personel to accomplish maintenance inspections....*#@% happens......

I would prefer to think that "inspections happen" and that's how things like this would be found.

think what you want, but in the real world here at LCC, full time inspection personel do NOT accomplish the initial inspection of aircraft coming into a heavy maintenance check....They USED to, but not anymore....FAA is aware, Tempe prefers it that way. Is much more ' cost ' driven.....That make sense to you?

Management's rational is that if a "Designated QC" inspector accomplishes the "initial check" knowing that once the initial inspection is finished, that individual will revert back to the "technician" role and fix the discrepancy; in hopes there will be fewer discrepancies identified. If management could get rid of QC Inspectors, they would and that has been an on-going battle since the first aircraft was inspected. That is a battle that will never be "won" by management thanks to the FAA.

Wasn’t that due to wiring harnesses in the wheel wells?

This was a good find but has no place in this format. You will scare the s--t out of people. How long out of overhaul and where was it done.That is the question. Retired Lead Mech.
