Flight Control? — I still find it weird to see iOS apps coming over to the Mac. I love...
Aircraft engineers are funny people
mbisteni:
After every flight, UPS 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.
